There was an appreciable amount of snow this morning and I ventured out to see what it had done to the Square Metre. Interestingly, unlike the rest of the garden, it was almost snow free, I think because it lies on the southern side of a hedge and can catch any sunlight that is going. This gives it an appreciably warmer microclimate that elsewhere in the neighbourhood. Note that the area beyond the hedge and on its north side has an unbroken snowfield.
It is in weather like this that the self sown holly just to the right of the birch tree comes into its own.
