    It is still mild here 59f 13c and overcast. Mother Nature rewarded me for tidying outside yesterday by dumpng lots of rain in the wee hours. During the day we're going back into the fridge before the weekend and just barely into the freezer at nights now. Wonderful!

    Yesterday pm I got into the greenhouse, pricked on a number of tomato seedlings. Hope they will cope with the double shock, of coming out of the propagator as well as the roots disturbance. No choice really as there's not enough space to leave them in the propagator any longer.

    Cordyline Australis: Is this dead?

    That looks very similar to the one my brother has. We had colder than -5c here this year and it suggests burgandy spires can only take a lite frost, so perhaps similar cultivars are the same.
