A couple of my elderly azalea have come into bud, quite a few primrose have sent up new leaves, the jasmine has three flowers opened. I cut back all my herbs to ground level and to my surprise the chives. comfrey, fennel, thyme and mace have all sent up new growth and my strawberries (grown in a pot out doors) has sent up new leaves. the parsley has not stopped growing, just keeps increasing itself. So I ask myself does this normally happen at this time of year and I have just forgotten? Or was it because for the first time I actually had a major clear up of leaves and cut or pruned everything back at the end of Autumn.

We've got things blooming as well... it's going to be a shock if and when winter does finally arrive.  It is far too mild for this time of year; when I filled the feeders this morning i only needed a lightweight jumper on- normally it would require hat, gloves, scarf and a thick cable-knit, at the very least. |

I did my last lawn mowing in the middle of October. I usually do fairly high cut for the winter but low enough for the Starlings to rummage around after grubs, especially leather jackets.
With it being so mild the grass is growing very fast and if it gets any taller I may have to take the top off again.
Harold.
