Fuchsia Genii cuttings just taken on balcony 21st May 2018

Lots to come then ...

I hope so!

Fuchsia, that is is easy for me to finish off... I have never seen Chartreuse leaves. We are having strange weather. one day 59. the next 80. Very dry, yet terrible floods in Maryland. Had a beautiful, but short Spring here.

We also had a beautiful, but short Spring here. Yet May is giving us some good weather this year. The result of high pressure over Siberia which is causing the winds to come from an easterly direction bringing in warmer air from the continent. But as the winds cross the North Sea so they pick up moisture from the cold sea which brings us some mist or low cloud. This burns back during the day to leave us with lovely afternoons.

Today was Late Spring Bank Holiday in the UK but it has been almost as glorious as the Early Spring Bank Holiday! This is pretty rare as normally most Bank Holidays are cold & very cloudy or rainy! To get 2 in one year like we have had this year is like winning the Lottery! ?
