No it's not. Very strange this year, some plants have died due to frost
damage like my Dahlias others seem totally untouched like my Arum Lilies
which are usually the first to turn to mush, saw a dahlia in full flower
yesterday in someone's front garden.


My dahlias all turned black at the first frost. It's obvious that my
garden, with a vicious East wind will succumb before others but I was
surprised at Lakeside to see how vigourous the growth was at this time
of year.
