Hi edibles.

YES.. I woke up this morning and wondered why it was cold and then i looked out of the window lol.. its snowing really heavily as we speak... :eek:

[edibles]

I found that it was quite a mild temperature for the amount of snow, the apple tree looked quite at home but, my poor citrus tree had to bear the brunt of it under the loquat tree

[~Obsidian~]

Thanks edibles, we've got a thick blanket of snow here too, its been snowing since last night and its still going! :eek:

[Riz]

nice pics ...

the snow has a certain beauty to it as well... another 1 foot of snow to be expected this evening in London. the garlic seedlings are submerged in the snow.. :)

The snow protects the plants against cold. Its the first winter for your citrus tree? outside.

[edibles]

finally the snow/now ice started to melt but there's still loads left

loquat tree no current signs of damage,
citruses no current signs of damage(despite one being buried in snow)

no not the first outside, (its had about 3) but definitely the snowiest

[Tania]

Could you tell me please which was the lowest temperature during the winter. Where i live was -20 celsius degree (during night without snow)

-20!! :eek: What kind of plants/trees can survive in this kind of cold???

[Tania]

wallnut, apple, pear, plum, peach, sweet cherry,cherry trees. I have in my garden wallnut and a cherry tree. I will buy a sweet cherry tree and may be a peach tree too. i like their fruits :)
I am a little worried for the citrus trees and coconuts palms which will have to live here.

[edibles]

I was going to keep this going but the snow remained in the forecast, so instead i might change it to being about my garden, so if one you kind admins wouldnt mind could you change the name to small city garden

[~Obsidian~]

Those blossoms are loovely mashaAllah

[rainbox]

Looks good! Yum yum mint.

[edibles]

mint is now huge plums are fattening and got a big smile on my face, I saw some(3) loquats forming, came as a bit of a suprise because they should fruit in autumn, but im not complaining:):)

the pic was taken in the shade of thie tree so it had to be brightened up after with software hence noise

[~Obsidian~]

masha Allah edibles, your garden sounds very lovely! Can't believe you have loquats growing *drools* :p

[edibles]

thank you, the loquats were completely out of the blue especially after the winter we just had

[edibles]

mangosteen season has gotten under way and well you know what im like with fruit:)

for those wondering where the seedlings are, their were no seeds in this particular fruit

Other details
very tropical plant 7C kills seedlings
delicious
need shade when young i.e perfect houseplant
Intolerant of drought

ps thanks for the nice comments

I love mangosteen :tree-huggin:, It's expensive here just for 4 pieces, and last time we went to Malaysia, it was 0.2 dinars (0.3 pounds) for an entire branch of mangosteens!

[edibles]

its been a while since i came back, I finally got off my lazy backside and took some pics

these have all been munched up now just a few remaining

[edibles]

the life cycle of the plums is all but over now, need a new idea for next years avatar?

[edibles]

ooh lots and lots of loquat flowers starting to popup :) :)

[edibles]

:hibernating: got a nice cold snap not nice
not much to do this time of the year i''l plant a touch of garlic, maybe ponder a guess at how many loquats i'll get next year i get a feeling next years gonna be a goodun, bar the long boring exams and studying (though that contradicts the quote in my sig)

i'm still open to suggestions about the old avatar pics for next year
