Default NYD Plant Count

Hello All

Happy New Year to everyone.

In October I fell and broke my femur near the hip, so I have done very little
gardening for the last 2 or 3 months. However I am now reasonably mobile, and
this project stirred me to do a tour of my "estate" and report.

Position East Anglia near Ipswich
Air Temperture 2 Cel
Ground Temp 3 Cel

Plants planted for Winter flower

Viburnum fragrans
Viburnum tinus
Jasminum nudiflorum
Lonicera fragrantisima
Chimonanthus fragrans
Schizostylis coccinea (pink)
Iberis?? (This is a creeping perennial subshrub with flowers about 4" which
loves growing at the base of an ornamental plum and is flowering beautifully
at the moment)

My 2 Sarcococca are in bud not flower
My Garrya elliptica is in bud not flower

Odds & Ends

Some primroses/polyanthus
Some roses although the flowers are not worth picking including Ruby Wedding
& Penny Lane
1 Calendula
2 different campanulas (variety ?)
1 Nigella (self seeded about 4" tall)
1 small potentilla (variety ?)
1 pale mauve hebe
1 Strawberry Pink Panda

Weeds

Groundsel

Best Wishes

John
