Bbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Chilly.

It's been a cold snap recently.  Most distressingly, my fuscia seem to have been killed off.  I'll cut them back, and see if they give life another go, but it doesn't look too hopeful :(  I got them as plugs, and they'd grown to about a foot in pots...
The chickens have had a little extra protection:

I draped horticultural fleece over their 'bedroom' bit of their house.  I have no idea if they slept better as a result, but I know I did!  Thankfully, to date, all three are still with us.

Not much chance to do anything else outside.  We've picked up a couple of big pots for a pear tree and an apple tree, and they can be done despite the weather, as they don't require digging!  Perhaps a project for this week. 
I keep promising myself I'll do an onion sowing session ... been saying that since December.
