    That's right, counting every bloom would get you very cold most years.

    It doesn't matter if you don't know what everything is. image

    Just take it as a bit of fun, something to work off tonight's excesses.



    In the sticks near Peterborough

    Oh so true!

    I've kept notes from my previous garden for a good many yrs, but this will only be our 2cnd yr here.

    We've only had 1 proper, if slight, frost even up here so far, but I suspect tonight could change that. I have also cut down stuff, whoops, to save on the work in the NY. J.

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.





  • We haven't had a frost yet this winter, and I doubt if we'll have one tonight ... too sheltered and close to the city.
