    The coldest night we ever had, minus 5c. Now back to warmth. Uncovered plants in the greenhouse, all ok, and my calla lillies. Poor babes, should recover:

    What's your weather like 2026

    Whoa, that is TOO cold for me! We have made it to the dizzying height of 10c and I haven't ventured out yet. We have a clear blue sky but that Northerly wind with gusts of 46kph.
