Now that we are into March it is official autumn! It doesn’t quite feel like autumn yet though because the days are still quite warm. We had a funny end to summer actually this year because February was uncharacteristically mild. We have had some fairly warm days but they haven’t been as hot as usual. Plus the nights have been nice and cool and that seems to make a big difference. It’s a bit of a contrast to last February which was very hot and uncomfortable! Actually last February was … [Read more...]
Links I Love from February
Now that February is behind us we are officially into autumn! Temperature wise it is still quite hot but there is a chill in the air at night that wasn’t there a month ago.

Mind you the garden is so dry that I would much prefer that it was cold and raining. We haven’t had a decent rain since January! Something else that hasn’t happened lately around here is me sharing my favourite links from my … [Read more...]
February Gardening 2014: What’s Going on in My Garden
Oh my goodness it has been hot these last few weeks! A week or so ago we had a run of 5 days over 40 °C and the last few days have been really hot too. It has been so hot lately it has been hard to think about what February gardening jobs might need doing besides watering the plants! We reached 41 yesterday, 42 today and we have another hot day tomorrow coming up before we get a much needed cool change. We have basically been spending our days indoors because it has been just too hot to work … [Read more...]
