SOUTHSEA GREEN: Enjoy what the winter garden offers
However, in quiet moments, it's lovely to spare the time to stroll and enjoy what winter offers. I can see my camellia is now in full flower, showing little white buds against dark green foliage '“Â very early, they don't usually appear until mid-January.
Spikes of early bulbs are popping up all over the garden to remind me I planted them. IÂ forgot until leaves were cleared away in spring.

Christmas is almost with us and I hope you receive bowls of narcissus and hyacinth to perfume your house, along with the smell of Christmas trees. Snow would be lovely for the children and to see on the branches of trees and shrubs. There's something quite magical about the garden at night when snow has fallen.
Merry Christmas.
