Spring shoots in December

I looked in my troughs around my decking yesterday and my spring bulbs are poking Through. It has been so mild here I just hope they don't get killed off when the frost comes.

Has this happened anywhere else.

    Hello

    Here in North Yorkshire my snowdrops are about 1in high and I had to cut my lawns yesterday

    It's the same here in west Midlands, plants are flowering months early but don't worry things will sort themselves outimage
  • I have a Hellebore in flower, will it flower again in spring?

  • Thanks for the response from you all. I will look forward to seeing them flower in the new year.

  • Same in South West, just having problems with my Ranuncula which are wilting badly despite being in the greenhouse away from the wind and rain

  • Hi the frost has caught my hydrangea and they look a bit sorry for themselves. 

    The lawn and surrounding ground is like a mud bath with all this rain. Musnt grumble at least I'm not flooded like the poor soles in Cumbria.

     

  • I have a Magnolia stellate in bud on my rear patio and I am sure the buds

    are turning white which in my eyes means its ready to burst open.

    The only thing is this is in Derbyshire..

    Everything the same as has been for years here. some hellebores out, daffs and other bulbs shooting.Roses l still blooming, also Penstemons.  No different from any other year..

    Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor. 

  • My ornamental quince usually comes into flower in late December/early January and really gets going from late February until May and this year we have had a record crop of fruit. It started this seasons flowering in mid November and is smothered with scarlet blooms already. As gardeners there is always joy in the approach of the seasons and the opportunities and experiences each one offers, non more so than Spring
