It was -4C last night at La Basse Cour - again.
We've had more frost days since the New Year than we had in the last two winters combined.
But, despite the cold, we have a great selection of flowering plants braving the elements. Due to the lack of pollinating insects at this time of year many of the flowers are highly scented - especially the Winter Box, Daphnae Odorata and the violets.
