Global warming bah!!
« on: April 20, 2009, 16:40:40 »
I wish this weather would make up its 'bl**dy mind!

Freezing at night 70° + during the day and what happened to the April showers?

I have about 500 bedding plants in my cold frame protected from the frost, looked in after lunch and about half of them have fried;

see here;



Ah well there is always next year!!

As I had my camera out I thought I would cheer myself up by looking at these;

The front border;



Sections of the same border;








Berberis about to flower;



Skimmia in full flower;



Plants around my sitting area;







Delphiniums & Monkshood coming along nicely;



The patio;



Indoor plants;



The shrubbery

Sorry about your seedlings Tee Gee, but your garden looks amazing, I bet you are the envy of your neighbourhood.
Smile at your enemies.

It makes them wonder what you are up to.

It is not global warming any more

It is 'climate change' now.

Lovely garden. 

I would also like a few more showers.  Only three so far in a April.

The last time we had such a dry April in the South East (the year before last???), the summer was a complete wash out  :'(
