The title of this blog comes from a Gaelic expression -"putting on the poor mouth"-which means to exaggerate the direness of one's situation in order to gain time or favour from creditors.

Garden 28 January
The Hebe doesn't seem to care what time of year it is. It blooms when it wants to.
I love camellias. We have all kinds of varieties in Texas, and they're pretty hardy, withstanding conditions to bloom from November to about April. I think they make a tea from some of the leaves too. Right?
THey are great eh? Ours bloom in spring.. I(n fact the not wife passes one that is already in bloom or at least the first tentative flowers have come out.. Wont be a month at least until we see flowers on our two camelias!
