Since the weather is so mild and the ground firm underfoot, I have been tempted to get ahead in the garden. Normally I prune my Clematis in February / March however I started today on the Clematis tangutica that winds its way up the cherry tree. The prunings are attractive so I usually make something with them despite them being rather unruly. Today I just quickly wound them up into a ring that will look like a straggly nest for the weather-vane. Tomorrow I will tackle the Clematis ‘Etoile Violette’.
