FROST IS DUE

The weather forecast said today that on Thursday we could have a widespread frost. So I quickly popped the begonias, non-hardy fuschias and pelargoniums into the shed. I will at a later date have to defoliate and generally tidy them up.

I was looking through some of our photos of the garden and think I may try to do a bit of a A to Z of our plants over the next few postings. It will give me an excuse to post a few more pictures. Unfortunately some of our garden plants bloomed during my non-digital camera days so will have to come back to them next year. I wont be using long Latin names or going into detailed growing instructions; all that can be found out from books or websites. This will be just a record and bits of information about our particular favourites. I shall call the plants by the names WE call them; some common, some Latin, some nicknames (mainly cos we cant pronounce the Latin name!). Also please forgive spelling errors; if you say the plant name out loud I'm sure it will sound right!
