these plants are hardcore

While it's not exactly an earth stood hard as iron water like a stone winter (yet - we still have time) I'm still rather impressed by what's in flower out back:

So far, so ordinary. A bit of Christmas Rose, a Snowdrop, and the Winter Jasmine (the clue's in the name). Pale, wintery colours. Delicate. Pretty.

OK, it's not unusual to see Roses in winter. Quince is a notoriously early flowerer. And Chickweed will sprint to flower in a few days, of course, move along, nothing to see here..

Hebe, Marguerite, Confetti Bush, Sweet William popping out another flower to replace the ones it lost in the snow, my Lime green Chrysanthemum putting out another bud....

OK, spring enough. I'm going to plant some broad beans.
