Winter Colours

Why is it that winter fashion rarely includes any colour when in fact it is when we most need it?

That is why I try to make sure that I have colour in my garden at this time of year - all you need are some colourful things in pots like these primulas....



or these cute litte pansies...



or even a citrus tree or two!


The one thing that strikes me as odd about lemonade lemon trees is that they fruit profusely in winter which is not really when we most feel the need for a glass of home-made lemonade!
