    Summers decided to hold off here in NZ with cold snaps, blustery winds & lots of rain.
    Good for the gardens, land, rain water tanks & power though so we can't really complain.

    But my laundry has taken over the porch & above the woodstove which I have blazing away.

    I guess weed whacking the paddocks will have to wait (which I actually really enjoy doing)

          Can anyone recommend summer-flowering Alpines that die back in winter?
