Still no frosts. High winds have brought the leaves down, but there's
no real scent or sense of autumn, and the lawn is still growing. So is
the new griselinia hedge.

The crocosmias, some of which have only just finished flowering, are
already putting up next year's leaf shoots right next to the ones from
this year, which have barely started to turn yellow. The hebes, still
covered in late flowers, are surrounded by a fresh crop of seedlings
from the earlier flowerheads.
Whenever I lift the potato crop, a few tubers get left behind and come
up the following spring.
This year, they appeared last week. Now 6" and growing strongly. The
seeds dropped off the nasturtiums have all germinated and are at the two
leaf stage, and many of my southern-hemisphere shrubs have got
hopelessly confused and are covered in flowerbuds.

Chopped back most of the garden about 3 weeks ago and gave it a good mulch.
Now have things regrowing. Gunnera has just chucked up two seed pods and is
starting new leaves. Many other strange things happening--but the weirdest
is that lots of things that self seed and show themselves in late spring
have already made quite mature plants.

my garden has plenty of colour, ain't global warmin gr8 :-)

I saw a Red Admiral out and about sunning itself today, but a clear sky has
meant the temperature's dropped considerably this evening.

We watched the Cenotaph ceremony this morning so that my husband could show
The Grand daughter 'his lot' as they marched past (she's convinced he 'saved
the world' personally and doesn't believe he wasn't in the war!) and we were
astonished at how green and leafy the plane trees in London are still. It
was very hard to look at those trees and think of this being mid-November.
No wonder I can't get worked up over the Christmas shopping. ;-)

I know what you mean. Each year Christmas seems less Christmassy....if you
know what I mean.

It was 0C in my greenhouse last night, and the roof as white at 8.00am.
Fushia's look OK, but I've moved them into the garage for the winter.
Raspberries still fruiting tho.

Seven this evening, and it was freezing at 5 feet above the ground, and
windscreens etc all had a covering of hard ice.
