How come my southern softie hyacinths are still in bud but yours are in full bloom? Is there a special Skipton micro climate?
They were already in bud when we bought them from a florist in Harrogate just before Christmas. We cheated.
You can run a vineyard in LS26 these days. That regional programme, Inside Out (I think), said so.
I have two vines on the (south facing) front wall of my house. We get hundreds of bunches of minute, sweet, red grapes in October (if we beat the wasps and birds to them)
