I didn't wait for Saturday to get out for some pictures this week, they were all taken yesterday. I just went out there, it was a good call. Not nice. On Monday I'm going on a workshop being run by Plant Heritage about how to use their database system. It's currently meaning I'm getting my…
I'm sure the last forecast I saw yesterday was giving a minimum of 5°C and a southerly breeze. I wasn't expecting to find frost this morning. Nothing severe, fortunately.

For a while now, not a lot has been changing from one weekend to the next, at least where the garden is concerned. We have a couple of three frosty nights coming up, so that might be about to change, followed by a dry week. One. The only frost we've had here was on the…
There seems to be fair bit of stuff that is perhaps a bit too far on, at risk of getting frosted, vulnerable to slugs. Then there are last year's leftovers, things like Salvia and Plectranthus, that got singed by frost but are still hanging on. Difficult to know what to try and protect, what to…
