    A bit, but cold weather will stop it and it should come to no harm.

    Thanks berghill. I was abit worried. But then again everything in the garden seems out of sync at the minute image

    My peony that I got given over summer started shooting in September and I posted about it on here thinking I had planted it too shallow...maybe I have but since then it has done nothing...just ignoring it for nowimage

    Wearside, England.

    The joys of gardening victoria sponge. Just see what happens. My peony came with the house. It gets lovely big red flowers if the squirrels dont pinch them lol

    Mine has lovely new plump red shoots showing too - it'll slow down as the winter comes in.  I was moving some things around today and lots of the pots with daffs, crocus and tulips have shoots poking through. Last year was the same with the mild winter. Everything will gradually settle though image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
