I note from my diary that we sowed broad beans under cover in our old shed on 31st January 2015. This week, sheltered in our new potting shed they began to sprout. The time elapsed signifies that we are now in the cool north west rather than the warm south.
Our lovely golden oregano, which used to feature on this page, bought in Cheshire over ten years ago did not survive the transition and we had to buy and pot on a new one. It did not come out of the new potting shed until today and is in a warm spot on our back patio. It may go back inside if the weather threatens frost.
Outside in our front garden the Iris Reticulata which were a housewarming present from LK are just beginning to show their tightly furled pointed spears. Saved on my phone is a picture of the allotment with the same irises in full flower. It is dated 10th February 2014.
Moving up here has not always been an easy transition. Maybe it is time to change the picture.
