Title: Indian Summer
Post by: Tee Gee on November 01, 2014, 13:01:03: Isn't this weather a bit confusing?

My Ena Harkness rose has decided to flower again.

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

Post by: Digeroo on November 16, 2014, 08:48:05: 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.
