We're having January weather in November, and I had to put on a winter jacket to go cut a few greens from the garden this morning. I've been sowing seeds in the greenhouse despite the cold weather.

Ivy leeaf geraniums still going strong though. I am thinking of putting some artichokes in the garden, as much for the bees as for anything else.
