Working in the garden today I noticed the first bees out and about, strange for this time of year, but then something else caught my eye. I am pruning the last of the roses and doing the winter clear up of dead flower stems and general debris thats collects in the garden over the winter when I noticed new flower buds on the chives. I didn't think much of it even though we has quite a hard frost last night, thinking it was because they had been planted in a place that doesn't get much frost, si I just nipped them off. Then it dawned on me that that the Doris pink which is at the front of the border has never stopped flowering all winter and last week I cut all the flowers off the Shasta Daisies because they hadn't stopped flowering either. But what struck me as strangest of all is the fact that two of the roses waiting to be pruned have produced new flower buds. Now I know I have green fingers to a certain extent but a miracle worker I am not ! The only solution I can come up with is that it is all down to Global warming, which makes me think that if the forcast for snow is correct then trouble is a-brewing as all the new growth and flowers will be destroyed. Old Mother Shipton foretold that when all the seasons became one it would be the end of the world, all I can say is, PLEASE let me finish my garden first and have just one day to sit in it . . . . .
