Still growing

It’s November and we have had a few frosts, but the plants are still going, even growing. I guess it’s a sign that as the climate warms plants can hold on a little bit longer.

It’s been a colourful autumn, the leaves have changed with the temperature and there hasn’t been much wind. (in fact wind farms haven’t produced as much energy recently as expected). Winter will arrive in due course and my plants will succumb.

I look forward to Spring.

Morning glory dies

The morning glory plants I nurtured in the summer have died back, their tendrils are collapsing. It took ages to get them to germinate, even in the heat of summer and I only saw one fully open flower. As the temperature cooled the flowers wilted, didn’t continue to grow. It was sad, but I think I will get some more seeds next year, possibly a different type, I would like to grow sky blue ones, not purple and pink which these were.

I jazzed up the photo in photodirector. Makes it more interesting.
