Last Day in November and it's icy! The start of Christmas

Its amazing how much colour we still have as well as Father Christmas!

Frosts help to keep the rhythm of nature and are necessary to maintain balance and normal timings in the ecosystem in the UK.
Why Frost Is Good News In The Garden
 – it helps to ensure that spring flowers don’t appear to early.
  Climate change has caused spring flowers to come up way too
   early over the past decade or longer
 – it kills greater numbers of garden pests that manage to survive            the milder winters
 – certain vegetables taste much better or are stronger if they have had  a touch of frost, for instance parsnips, Brussel sprouts and garlic.
