They're alive and they have plenty of water. I'm sure they'll sort themselves out. Some things are thriving in the weird weather. I have an osteosopermum that is in it's third year in the ground. It's huge. I suppose that's the way they grow in their natural environment.
The rain has finally stopped and just noticed that the first blossoms are beginning to open on one of our winter flowering cherries 🙂
If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.”—Marcus Tullius Cicero East facing, top of a hill clay-loam, cultivated for centuries (7 years by me). Birmingham
Significant birthday this week and OH and Possum have finally twigged that plants and garden stuff make me happy so I now have a magnolia Butterfly (yellow flowers), a mahonia Cabaret (russet flowers) and an amelanchier Saskatoon plus some heat mats for germinating fussy seeds and Christopher Lloyd's book on colour.
The less good news is I also have a new slipped disk as of Monday morning so serious pain and no way I'll get the trees planted for a while. The doc who replaced my GP when he retired has been "de-frocked" for being too interested in lady boobs and nobody local is taking new patients but I finally found someone willing to see me this morning and prescribe some horse pills (literally ketamine based) to deal with the pain.
Relief.

Getting old 🤣 Bow's in her 2nd year at college and Trill is now a sixth former. They're both doing well, thank you - so that's a reason to be cheerful 🙂
