Here in NE Suffolk,

The grass is growing full-speed-ahead and it badly needs cutting.
Though we have had a couple of ground frosts and a dusting of snow, the
dahlias are intact and preparing new flowers.
One of the begonias thinks it is spring and has began growing like crazy.
Assorted other plants have flowered a second time when they should have
waited until 2016.

It's unheard of since autumn 2014, which was also hyper mild.

We have pink Rhododendrons flowers out.
And a few red flowers on our Rhododendron called 'May Day'. Named such
because that is the time it is meant to flower.
Still, red is an appropriate colour for Christmas.


Well at least my garden is starting to take on a winter look. Summer bedding
and patio plants are being shredded, veg. garden is over (apart from winter
veg.), greenhouse has been cleared. The trees are bare, the grass has
stopped growing (hurrah!), winter jasmine is in bud and also mahonia.
Natives such as nettle and the numerous other weeds are dying back. So all
looking good for a rest now despite a mild November with a mean max. of 11C.
