If you’re very observant you will notice the date – 19th January 2013. Yes, 6 years ago, why? I’m taking you back in time!
I told myself in 2019 I would not miss a Six on Saturday, a blog meme run every Saturday on The Propagator blog. I have no excuse to fall at the third post, so with nothing to use for today’s post, this evening I trawled through my old posts to find one dated the 19th January, in any year, relevant to gardening. The closest I could get was the 18th January 2013 from my old garden in Worthing when it snowed! I have edited it to remove a lot of the written word, just leaving you to view snowy garden photos taken 6 years ago this weekend.

18 January 2013 – ‘We Have Snow’
Here in the South of England on the Sussex Coast, we may get snow for a few days during the winter months. The last heavy snow that hung around for days was in 2010. Today, true to the forecasted weather (which we often take with a pinch of salt), it started to snow earlier this morning and now, mid-day, it is quite deep – for us anyway. I suspect it is about 3 to 4 inches deep at the moment and it’s still snowing.
I love the way that snow changes the shape of things. For example the bamboo cloches now look like little snow domes.Please take a peek over the garden fence to view the other contributions to Six on Saturday
