For the last week winds have dominated outdoor conditions with consistently strong gusts from the west. Thankfully today has been pleasantly calm and windless. With clear skies and cold winds, night temperatures have been in the low single figures. Heaters have been on along with fleecies and scarves.In the garden winds have dried moisture from the ground rapidly, with small cracks forming in some bare patches amongst the lawn. The mulberry tree holds a handful of old leaves still, but has fresh leaf burst this week too. It's a short winter transition here in the subtropics for some plants. The weather has been good for gardening (as long as I rug up) with sheltered areas even feeling warm in the sunlight.
