Snowing in South Ken.

It’s snowing ever so lightly here in South Kensington. Not madly or dramatically, but enough to make my poor plants suffer up at the allotment. But the ones here in the house are growing on merrily. The Kale and cornflowers are up; and the others are showing some tiny signs of life. Must make sure they don’t dry out in this under glass warmth.

Instead of gardening I am looking at Australian plants to buy on the internet. And the good news is there are three garden suppliers in the south of France who look like keen breeders. It may save me a packet in postage and handling to get them there. But they aren’t cheaper than the ones at the Old Walled Garden. It seems I have to pay around £8 per healthy plant.
