Don't they know its November?

[veggiechicken]

I expected a depressing walk around my really soggy garden today but what did I find:-

Nature doesn't seem to care that its the end of November. What do you have in your garden that you don't expect to see at this time of year?

What do you have in your garden that you don't expect to see at this time of year?

Me, for a start!

Before I got my allotment you wouldn't have caught me outside in November if I could help it - but nowadays at 6am on most Saturdays and Sundays you will find me looking out of the window and waiting impatiently for enough light to go down to the plot!

My strawberries have continued to flower over the last couple of months, but they rot rather than fruit. When I was clearing a corner of my garden yesterday I accidentally disturbed a frog, he now has a much more comfortable home in another corner where he's less likely to be moved again. One of my roses is budding at the moment.

Hydrangia still has blue flowers - usually its all dead and asleep by now. The rose in my garden has flowers too.

Lots of slugs STILL eating everything!!


The plants dont know that its winter.....but its so mild and WET, who does??

Hydrangea and roses STILL. My spring flowering viburnum has been out for a few weeks too. All just so bonkers. I've given up worrying

I also have a hardy fuchsia flowering, VC, plus a white lupin, and a delphinium is coming into bud - won't survive the predicted frost, I'm thinking.

I have raspberries still ripening, as well as strawberries - Alpine and Elsanta, a couple of toms going red very slowly, there is still aubretia and lobelia, geraniums and zinnia in my hanging baskets and wall baskets. There are roses on the trellis. I've brought them in now, but a couple of bell peppers and some jalapeños. My garden is very, very, confused....

[bramble]

The last of my Sungold still ripening on my southfacing wall outdoors. A hardy fuschia, some geraniums, lobelia, a few roses and loads of red begonia which survived outdoors last year in a half barrel.

All of these slightly out-of-season flowers and veggies really do shorten the winter Hope they last a few more weeks too.

It would nice to have a few freshly picked Strawberries for Christmas Day breakfast! We usually have croissant but he & me can't have them this year.....berries & Greek yoghurt would be good.
