Peculiar
weather as we had a spell of seven weeks of rain free fine
but cold wind from the North. The soil became very dry and
was impossible to plant anything out without constant watering.
The newly planted daffodil varieties were spectacular - it
will be interesting how well they do next year. We escaped
late frosts so we suffered none of the usual frost damage
on the Rhododendrons and Camellias.
