Isn't this weather a bit confusing?

My Ena Harkness rose has decided to flower again.

Took these photos this morning (1/11/14)

Yes it's difficult to believe that it's November today.  My garden has a number of roses too and other flowers which are normally finished.

Raspberries seems to be liking it.  Picked quite a few today.

I am still eating raspberries.  Been very good for planting out new strawberries.  The summer raspberries are beginning to flower and fruit, bit worried it will cause a problem next year.

The feral parsnips are loving it - the plants are getting quite big and the proper ones seem to still be growing - some are huge.
