More phew!
Thank goodness the wind has gone, at least for now. We didn't have much
damage here but the lanes are absolutely strewn with small branches, twigs, leaves etc. It's been horrendous and some poor people have lost their lives. But we still couldn't call it really cold here - wonder if it's actually going to 'do' winter or whether it will remain as it is and we'll have a genuinely early spring. One of our camellias is out earlier than usual and the fronds of one of the tree ferns have barely turned colour at all. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ |

Down to 2 celsius on Saturday night according to the met office but back to semi tropical in the daytime http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/...t_weather.html |

Yes we have a camellia in full flower now ,Madame de Strekaloff, about two months early although the others seem to still have their buds tight, our Tree fern hasn't changed since last summer at all and our fish were searching for food like mad yesterday and today. The citrus trees are flowering well and fruit is ripening. If I don't get my Pleonies repotted soon they will be starting into flower and I won't be able to this year. Part of next doors fence blew over into our garden yesterday taking our Clematis alpina trellis with it, so that plant has had to be cut right back to untangle it from the debris, no flowers this year. And we can't get onto the allotment it's so waterlogged, so that's well behind, the Thames looks like it might flood again and we still have a hosepipe ban!!! Something wrong somewhere. -- Regards Bob H 17mls W. of London.UK |

Something wrong somewhere. -- Regards Bob H 17mls W. of London.UK This could be a description from the med! The weather seems completely out of whack. Here in central Scotland the kids are still waiting for our first snow and we've hardly had a frost. As we live at 900ft it's almost unheard of. The wind has been horrendous all week and blown my new cedar over twice (about to replant much deeper!) , and all the rivers are on flood warnings, but it's not cold. The garden is showing every sign of getting ready for spring so I'm now worried that it's all going to get going and then a really cold spell will kill everything off. Temporary glitch or the shape of things to come? I don't know - only last year we had a long, hard winter season with the snow starting in early November. No wonder the plants are confused... regards Lizzie |
