Rainy 18°C / 64°FI’ve gone and done it again! It’s another rainy day. Actually the rain hasn’t started, yet, but it’s cloudy & dreary and they’re forecasting 50mm within the next 24 hours. And that’s on top of the rain over the weekend and it rained ALL weekend. I enjoy ...

Another wet, dreary day. Thankfully, the new peonies are all in the ground. I’ve ordered more daffodils, dutch iris and of course, lilies, but they haven’t yet arrived. I’m hoping for better weather for when they do. Still no frost which means that we have had five full frost...Rainy 20°C / 68°F -

Cloudy 22°C / 72°F
Well, here we are on the 29th of September and still no frost. I’m not complaining. In fact, I love it. No frost is the reason I still have dahlias and impatiens blooming. Asters I expect this late in September but impatiens? It’s great!

Lilies! They smell like lilies!!! I keep sniffing the acidanthera, trying to place the scent. It smells so exquisite and smells so familiar but I haven’t been able to place it… until today. They smell like Bermuda Lilies. You’d think that I, orientallily, would have figure...Sunny 17°C / 63°F -

freesias, plumeria, bourbon lilies, bermuda lilies & calla lilies
Okay, this is simply a means for me to keep track. I’ve planted five packages of seed within the last month and here are my results… Freesias – geminating all over the place. I see green!!! Plumeria – 7 of the 11 seeds have sent out roots. Looks very promising! Bourbon ...Rainy 21°C / 70°F -

Well, it is the 22nd of September and there has still been no frost. It’s great! The first frost usually occurs two or three days before my birthday however last year, for the first time since I can remember, there was no frost until early October. It’s looking like this might happ...Rainy 22°C / 72°F -

I have a cold! Anyway, yesterday I was in my office trying to get some work done between blowing my nose and complaining that I needed someone to go out and get me some Puffs because I now looked very much like Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer, when the florist called. They had flowers for me! Now...Cloudy 22°C / 72°F -

white paint? or you know what...
the trees in the gardenI just came in from moving the sprinkler from the woodland garden to the front yard where the linden I’ve underplanted with cowslips is growing. Those little primrose seedlings need to be watered in. Anyway, while fighting with the hose, I noticed a massive amount of bird droppings under ...Cloudy 17°C / 63°F -

First of all, I’ve changed the name of my ‘woodland retreat garden’ to simply the ‘woodland garden’. I think it sounds better. Secondly, and more importantly, I’ve done all I need to do in the ‘woodland garden’… for this year. The Primula a...Cloudy 16°C / 61°F
