Is it strange?

That I've still got flowers on my bouganvilla, and a few spring bulbs popping up (strays from last year)?

    Spring flowers can often re-appear a little in autumn. I have a little apple blossom coming out.

    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    Is it in the tunnel of love, by any chance?

    That IS strange! Presumably just leave them to do their thing?

    I have a pot of muscari that I'd just shoved under a bench when they were done - they've sprouted again and the green is probably about 2 inches tall already.

    I’ve found muscari tend to do that … they’re often quite a big bunch of leaves well before New Year. 😊

    Not really. It happens every autumn.

    I put a Basil plant into a pot this year - due to the heat - it didn't fare well.  It went to seed with more seed sprouts than leaves, which were tough.  Pottering around in the garden this week - the pot is covered with Basil seedlings!  I'm going to try and grow them on.  

    A good hoeing is worth two waterings.
