Anybody else desperate for Spring already?

in Plants
I've planted a lot of new stuff this year and it was just getting interesting as stuff took a grip in the soil and began to grow ... now a brief display of beautiful autumn colours has come to an abrupt end because 45 mph Sussex winds last night blew all but the most stubborn of leaves off the trees ... I've got a bit of winter interest there but mostly deciduous stuff - and it feels like weeds are the only things still growing

I have to say, I rather like the contrast between the starkness of the winter garden and the eruption in spring.
Mulching compost is a lot easier when stuff has died down / been lifted etc.
I always go on holiday in winter so the "winter garden" isn't really a priority for me.
Winter helps you appreciate Spring more.

Having lots of year round interest is vital here, as we have more cold, wet months than we do warm, dry ones. It's something you learn quite quickly.....

Defintely need to get some evergreens and/or coloured bark and/or winter blossom and perfume in your garden.
