Late daffs
I wonder if this long cold spell will get my daffs moving, up to the
snow there was hardly a trace of them, a few of them were showing about half an inch but with most there was no sign. Well behind the normal growth for this time of year. David Hill |

B-) I'd normally expect to feel the crunch of little daffodil shoots underfoot in January, but it's been so cold for so long that I'd expect them to be late this year. Has anyone even seen a snowdrop? -- Sue ] |

I think it was Nov.11 it started here and still not gone yet, but the forecast for our region is good and last night was the first time since then that we didn't have a frost. Bet my new Kiwi bush suffered though. Happy new year you lucky devil Baz |

Bet my new Kiwi bush suffered though. Happy new year you lucky devil Baz The thaw's started here in Dorset (a bit). Got concerned today when I heard water running in the pipes and couldn't track where it was going. Then I thought about the small apartment above the garage which none of the kids chose to use over Xmas (unlike the summer). The rooms were OK but the garage was flooded! The one piece of interior exposed pipe had burst. No real damage (I think) except there's quite a lot of standing water on the garage floor. I turned off the stopcock inside the garage door and all is now OK. Except I need a plumber .... but not too urgently. I had to smile when I recalled my rather pompous post to Baz about Macmillan's "Events dear boy" ... and the need to prepare for them. Why I didn't turn off the stopcock when the cold weather started, I don't know. I did last year. Hoisted on my own quotation ... and it's cold:-))) Oh .... and during the summer we changed to a meter charging system!! Where's that insurance policy ..... does it cover burst pipes??? Hmmmm! -- Gopher .... I know my place! |

Apart from about two days in mid Dec, I haven't seen the garden since November! I have no idea what's happening under there.

Now there is only a bit of snow left here I noticed there are some Daffs showing and the Leucojum (snowflakes) are well up. -- Regards Bob Hobden W.of London. UK |
