Happy New Yew

I had a gap that I didn't like and couldn't help myself when I saw this little fella. The idea is that he creats a bit of winter structure where I have a lot of deciduous plants and some balance as I have a lot of dark evergreens the other side of the path. I'm thinking nice little dome shape next year.

Frosty morn

We've already had a few frosty mornings but today's is the first that I've been able to take any shots of (well I had to go out and check the broad beans were okay - they are). This is golden oregano.

Winter warmer

I haven't pruned these dogwoods at all but they are still pretty young so full of colour. I have a yellow one in this area too but, like everything else, they need to beef up a bit more to hide the fence. I hope I am not still writing this next year.
