This thread made me laugh!  We are never happy as gardeners are we?  We are always wanting one type of weather or another, I am exactly the same  :D

We've not had a frost yet, but I noticed the whitefly are dropping like errrrr - flies.

Hardly any now.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

No frost here yet either ... only started using the central heating in the last day or two.

I'm not keen to harvest my Parsnips before first-frost, but what about Salsify and Scorzonera - do they also benefit from frost? If not I could start on them first whilst waiting for a cold snap ...

we had a bit of frost a couple of weeks ago - had to scrape ice of the car at 7am.
Must be that global warming thing in Loughborough  ;)

Or you just lie in bed too long  :D

All these moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

Cheeky s*d!

Have a look at my posting times.

I remember now - I was in southern climes, (Cornwall), at the time. That one never got the whitefly though.
