Welcome Jack Frost on my van window I'm pleased it has turned cold, slow growth up a bit, it has been too mild of late you may have noticed much too early catkins growing in the hedgerow, a flower that shows too soon can be hit by the severe weather reducing the fruiting later.
Frost is good for the garden some plants like deciduous fruit trees need a winter chilling, the frost turns starches to sugar in crops like parsnips, and kale improving their flavour. Frosts help reduce pests
and disease and improve soil structure. I use this time to expose the roots of weeds like ground elder, nothing like a good frost to knock this back, a great organic method of clearing the ground.
