I'm preping my potato area this week, plan to start planting next week. Today I started off some beans in the greenhouse and reset the mouse traps - the meeces seem to be everywhere this year.

Decided that the last of my cistus is well and truly extinguished by the last freeze ...... so  that's three cistus and a leptospermum gone over the last two winters. They were the backbone of my little yard by the house so all the colour has disappeared. 

Now, do I risk some more in the assumption that the weather will never again be so severe or research something of a hardier nature ?
