Gardening at 58 North
Gardening at 58 North is a Youtube gardening channel which focuses on house plants and gardening. The channel contains a series of horticultural videos, some are instructional and informative, whilst others are video diaries of how my plants are doing over the year. Please have a look through my videos, if you have any questions, leave a comment and I will try to answer your questions.
My outdoor videos are filmed in North Scotland between Inverness and Elgin, the USDA of my garden is around 8 and the USDA of my parents coastal garden is around 9. However as we are only 640 miles from the arctic circle, the summers are very cool with an average daily maximum temperature of 18C (65F) in July and grass frosts are possible any month of the year. Although July and August are nearly always frost free.
If you enjoy my videos or want to keep up to date with my new videos please subscribe.

I don't normally post much in January as I usually take a break from my Youtube, but I would like to share some photos of the snowy scenery around my area at the moment.

The day after my snowy drive through the Scottish Highlands I found my garden in a deep freeze. Several days of below freezing temperatures had built up thick layers of hoar frost on all my plants. I took out my macro lens and took photos of the varying shapes the frost had formed.

The answer to last week's Monday mystery macro is sunflower (Helianthus annuus). Although it looks like a single flower it is actually a compound flower which is made up of hundreds of smaller florets surrounded by a ring of Ray flower petals.
Well done to everyone who got it right this week.
There won't be a mystery macro for a week or two, but I hope to start mystery macro again in the new year.

The final photos from my drive through the Scottish highlands were taken on one of the mountain passes. The stunted trees at the top were encased in snow and rime ice, formed when the area was in the clouds in a few days earlier.

As I travelled west the snow became deeper and the hoar frost covered even the finest of tree branches making the trees look white.

I really like the lightening in the first photo, this was taken just before 4pm as the sun was about to set. I like how the low sun lights up the topography of the landscape.
The other photos are from an old military road built in the 1700's, from this particular spot you get a view over a large mostly uninhabited area of the Cairngorm national park. The forest on the valley floor, beneath the fog is Abernethy forest, which is one of the largest ancient woodlands in the Uk and the last stronghold of the Capercaillie.
The mountains in the distance are the Cairngorms.
