December was mild but rainy, although fortunately we were spared the flooding that other parts of the country have experienced. Everything is still growing, and the OH had to cut the lawn again just before Christmas. I am itching to get out there and get on with some gardening after being too huge to do much for quite a few months. But I think that will have to wait until I've had more sleep.
The mild weather has made the fuchsias start to re-sprout leaves. You just know this is going to end badly when there's a frost.
Our houseplants got Sciarid fly, so we had to put them outside in the hope some colder weather (joke) would kill them off.
The camellia has begun flowering earlier this year with the warmer weather.
Lots of signs of bulb growth already.
And the first hellebore flower - this is one I grew from seed!

Congrats on the new arrival. Like you, I'm wondering what will happen to the gardens when the real spring arrives. My daffs have been out for a couple of weeks now and I also had to cut the grass before Christmas. It already looks like it needs another cut!
Congratulations on your new family member, and for knitting a sock under less-than-ideal circumstances!
Congratulations with your little girl.
Congratulations on your baby's arrival!! You are amazing to have done that much knitting on a sock, whilst coping with a newborn. Take care. ♥
