More snow on the way
For some of us this week will see a return to wintery conditions.
With the weather conditions at this time of year being just cold enough to give snow but warm enough for it be wet and heavy, this can be the most dangerous time for the gardener. The snow will be much heavier than the stuff we got over the new year and the damage it can cause will be much greater. If it does snow in your area try to remove the snow from bushes trees and plants using a soft brush to dislodge it before any permanent damage is caused.
