It's certainly a crazy year. One of our well-established tree ferns is
sending out new fronds! I'm off down the garden to inspect the rest and see what's going on. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ |

Check your strawberries. I cut mine down to almost nothing like the geezer on the TV said, and as was discussed in here 3-4 weeks ago, and now I've got several plants flowering/fruiting. I picked a strawberry yesterday, it was normal sized and 90% ripe. If we don't get a frost first, I expect several more. Steve |

It's understandable on newly acquired ferns that have been ripped up and moved from their homeland-they are just acclimatising. Perhaps the old tree ferns know we won't have a Winter, and this is the first sign of spring. (if only) |

They came as bare trunks and within days, it seemed, had put out numbers of fronds. But this one is in a large pot on a lawn and has been for about 3 years. Why it's decided to do this I don't know. None of our other garden ones have done so. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ |

I have a hellebore in full flower (white, double) on the allotment, flowering for the first time. It is a self-seedling I have been nurturing. I have a lot of hellebores on the allotment, but no doubles and none that have flowered out of season. Is there a variety which flowers now, is this a freak or is it just the effects of the weather?

I noticed yesterday there was another lot of fruit on the alpine strawberries I chopped back a few weeks ago, and there are still some runner beans which makes up for their poor start. Over the weekend I read an article about there being hawthorn blossom along with the haws this year. Presumably the dry spell has thrown everything out of kilter, as lots of plants seem to be having a renewed burst of flowering since the rains. -- Sue |

Hi
It is a bit different this year, I have a rosemary bush in full flower for third time this year, no pruning or anything, I think I have flower buds on Camelias for second time this year, however I did post about this time last year about that. Mid October and only 2 days/nights when temperature has dropped into single figures, first time since July according to my records, and this is in West Midlands, not South coast area. Global warming ? keep up the good work. regards Cineman "Sacha" wrote in message ... It's certainly a crazy year. One of our well-established tree ferns is sending out new fronds!
