I'm seeing all kinds of posts of blooming plants and frogs in love and garden life proceeding, and there's still a (small) pile of snow unmelted in a shady corner of my yard from 2 weeks ago. A couple of crocus look hopeful. A 1-day warm spell today (19C) is sandwiched between yesterday's and tomorrow's (forecast) 4C, which will probably encourage many plants to spring(!) into life and be frozen by possible snow next mid-week. No okra is a small price to pay! |

I see a lot of posts about the inability to grow certain hot-weather, long-season plants. And "gee, it's been perfectly awful here this week." Plus a vague general concensus that UK weather is wet, gloomy, lacking sun, and something often to be endured, not enjoyed. All these reports of spring springing in what seems to be a usual fashion, well before snow, ice, and pervasive gloom is out of *my* forecast makes me grumble. Reliable spring blooms and scent are several weeks away, and you all have been talking 'spring' for quite some time. I guess I'll just have to present an 8' outdoor gardenia with scores of blooms in midsummer. Can't say I'd expect anyone to envy the heat and humidity that accompanies this display... |

Oh, I understand, sorry. But I'm not apologising for our early colours and scents, we CAN have them at all seasons if we want. And I certainly haven't contributed to the 'vague general consensus'!

I should have started a new thread, as it was your original post of bloom and perfume that set me thinking of how lovely it would be to experience at this time of year, in *sipite* of many recent posts on bad weather.
