We didn't have much snow up in Wolverhampton, but it has been very cold this week! My daffodils don't seem to think it's winter though, they began to come up in December. The lilac tree in the back garden has had new buds on it since the leaves began to fall in October! My cornflowers, planted last July still have two healthy flower heads as we speak! It's mad!!!

yes ,but it is suposed to be ,its a permaculture garden ,this means we plan in cubic terms and try to utilize all the space ,the result is a compact confused garden ,with a great variety of the maximum number of plants that can live together,using trees as poles to grow vines and planting beans on the fences etc.
but it is winter now ,it must be at least 28 degrees celcius(in the night)the days are a lot hotter.,this is the tropics
lots of bananas coming ,some papaya,
but the pine apples ,passion fruit,wanabana,etc.are still a long way off
and it hasnt rained in months(but i got lots of irrigation)
we are reparing the fish ponds and the bio space is ready and stocked with fish and 5 baby crocodiles ,waiting for the canaries and green iguanas

You are lucky. Grass growing madly here and needs cutting between snow showers and frost. Daffs are up and roses still flowering from last year. Some birds have nested and fledglings hopping around. Spiders are out which is very unfair as I appreciate a long season without them! I am as confused as the poor old garden.

you do not go with to apply compost, althogh beginning a compost bin is a good concept. Compost is staggering fertilizer on your backyard. when you're only beginning out you'll locate bags of fantastic wealthy backyard soil at your community domicile center. until eventually eventually a number of that into the floor alongside with some peat moss. in case you commence a compost bin this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days you'll likely have sufficient compost to apply on your backyard through next 3 hundred and sixty 5 days.
