Hi fellow gardeners, had a shock the other day when our large Pieris was badly attacked by frost (never been a problem before) thought it must be its age but I am pleased to tell you that after removing the worst of the damage it is now back to looking beautiful and leaves are beginning to turn red.
You are right about the rain Citizen, Mothers garden is a sight to behold (and it must be one of the most neglected spots on earth!) Marigolds and oriental poppies in full flower and roses in full bud.
Glad the fig is doing well Firenze, see how much fruit you get on it this year.
Phil, one thing we can all be sure of is that the grass will grow regardlessly!
I do love the smell of lilac, GrannyMac, my Mother will never allow any indoors (supposed to be bad luck!) but it has never stopped me.
