Unknown plant update


Houttuynia Cordata update

The other pot is now looking a bit iffy.  Maybe they don't like having their roots restricted.

Shortest day


A nice sunny and mild shortest-day-of-the-year.  Nipped out into the garden to take this shot of the last bit of sun just before the ol' currant bun dipped behind the houses at about 14:00.

James Grieve update


The James Grieve tree collapsed during the summer.  The new growth looks fine but the old branches are covered in something nasty.


I cut off what was the top of the tree, but was leaning to one side, leaving the new growth.  This new growth is sprouting from a part of the trunk which looks diseased and has bark missing, so the disease may eventually spread.


Houttuynia Cordata update

One of the pots of Houttuynia Cordata looks a bit poorly.  Not sure what happened there, as the other pot is ok.
