I am glad I kept a pair of heavy trackpants and one of the sweaters out, they went on this morning. This time of year can be unpredictable. Won't stop me starting off seeds though, despite my terrible record with germination rates!
The elderberry cuttings perked up nicely in their pots, they don't mind a bit of chilling. Now if they can just grow a nice set of roots I will be very happy.
And, great excitement - last summer I treated myself to a hydrangea head at the local fruit shop, $10, which was a gross extravagance, but it had a long stem, so of course I cut it and made cuttings, one of which has survived the winter and now has a healthy cluster of new leaves. I will now start hardening it off before fining it a really pretty pot. It is a gorgeous bicolour pink and white, really delicious flower, so I am looking forward to spoiling it silly until it is a bulletproof size...
