Mother nature

Just come back from the allotment and the auld girl has taken pity on me. She has only wiped out about half of my Dahlias rather than the majority as I at first thought. Jack frost, her son, also wiped out my four cape gooseberries I had potted on.....but.....I have managed to salvage six plants from the original pot still on the window sill at home. They are a lot smaller but should catch up and will save me sowing again (not sure whether I have any seeds left anyway?)

So all in all, because I have shown due deference to her she has thrown me a line.
