November

Tag: Seasons change
How things change - it was said of of November .. no leaves on trees, no sun, no warmth november etc. The leaves are still on some trees in spite of recent winds and it is a bright day. I recently dug up my wandering raspberry canes and replanted them in line and in the process removed masses of wandering buttercup and ground elder weeds. The peppers in the gren house are still fruiting as well as the strawberries in the garden though I doubt if this will continue for much longer. All the bird feeders have been filled with seed and fat balls hung on trees. I have been preparing notes for the garden group meeting tomorow on trees for the garden. This week the christmas lights will be switched on in the city centre and an ice rink erected in the old market place, now called Cathedral Square. It should be interesting for our multicultural city where some 54 different languages are spoken - it does provide for a wide variety of food. Duch nursery men visit our continental market with a wide variety of plants and bulbs. The area near to us used to be noted for tulip cultivation and each spring a tulip festival is held at Spalding some 18 miles away. The hardy fuschias are still in full bloom and some roses are producing new flowers. If you refer to an old gardening book on what you should do in November it bears norelation to today's climate. Though since for many years most of Britain has been a smokeless zone, ie no domestic coal or wood fires the legendary fogs have vanished.
