Yesterday (Dec 30th) we had 2 Blue bottles buzzing around indoors,
also a couple of Mosquito type thingies, and I noticed we have a
blackberry with a lone flower open as well as some apple mint still in
leaf.
How crazy can it get.

I saw a bee flying around outside.  We have fruit flies in the kitchen.
(annoyingly)  We have 3 types of mint still leafy, althugh I'm not sure it
ever really goes away.  Lots of thyme.  Annoyingly, the rosemary has all but
gone.  Don't think that's seasonal, it's just a bit dead looking.

  Glasgow is warmer that Greece today; I was gardening without a jacket.

  2011 was the wettest year on record in Scotland; and the second warmest.

We have a Boysenberry in good flower on the allotment, even some fruit set,
the red Princess Lilies are still flowering in our front garden, snowflakes
are flowering, Bergenia too, a large pot by the back door with Fuschias and
Pelagoniums both of which are still flowering, and an Arum Lily in the
middle of the garden just coming into flower. Noticed a large clump of
Kniphofias on a roadside near here in full bloom but then they do flower all
year, at least that clump do, mine don't.
