Yesterday's visit to the plot and today's wander around the garden showed that many plants had not yet fully appreciated the time of year.
Lack of any severe frost to date and the fairly mild temperatures meant that even the rosemary was in flower. Also still showing a brave face were roses which were still producing buds, coreopsis, gaillardia, penstemon, cornflower, achillea and poached egg plants. Alpine and cultivated strawberries are still flowering and producing fruit but this isn't ripenening properly. Nasturtiums which tend to immediately disappear at the first sign of frosts are still managing to produce a few flowers.
Nemesia still sported flowers and the French marigolds and cosmos also had albeit small flowers.
