Good morning , its 8C here at the moment.
Thankfully the very strong winds have gone ( for a while anyway)
Its been time for heaters and electric blankets.
That will sound silly to those up north.

We will get a few warn days again by the end of the week. The rain wasnt very much so I am back to watering the pot plants.

My broms will be wondering why I have them outside in the cold...lol

I must get a pic of my neo Gezpacho later as I notice it has a large bud in the middle.
I have not seen this on any other broms. Usually, I miss any of the small buds until they open.
This one seems to be just a very large single bud.

Ian, your bills are lovely.
There is something very attractive about the spotty ones.
Hallelujah was my introduction to the world of pretty bills.

Colleen, maybe I should come over and relocate a few of your broms ....lol

Nev, thanks for the hints on deleafing. I remembered your tips from a previous thread.
I will get to them as soon as the weather gets a bit warmer.
My aech nudicaulis are looking very nice and I would love to have one of aequalis when you have a spare pup , please Nev.

Just read your last post, Nev. I too, use a very fine mist spray on hot days. Always have done with my plants, as I feel better when I get a cool shower in the heat, so plants must too.

Time I went out and fed the maggies. I can hear them squabbling at the back door.
Worse than having children around, but very entertaining with their antics.

Get well wishes for anyone not feeling 100%.
My hubby is certainly looking better after the little bit of a relapse last week.
