When we speak about fleece here in the UK we mean a horticultural fleece which is a thin but very warm and insulating fabric which allows light in but keeps the frost out.<br />Here is a link to explain it to you (better than I can !)<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horticultural_fleeceMaureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15540591998909116816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135071957131268670.post-45283483256389370252010-03-15T06:34:09.536+00:002010-03-15T06:34:09.536+00:00When UK gardeners say "fleece" what do t...When UK gardeners say "fleece" what do they mean? Here, fleece is either the shearings off of a sheep, or that plasticky-fuzzy material that jackets are often made of. Clearly, you mean some kind of insulating cover, but I'm still confused.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03932975112078606231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135071957131268670.post-61265567325370411302010-03-03T19:40:57.890+00:002010-03-03T19:40:57.890+00:00Hi Doc. I appreciate your well intentioned suggest...Hi Doc. I appreciate your well intentioned suggestion about my starting another blog. Honestly, I barely have enough time to deal with this one - so I think another blog is out of the question. There are many "garden blogs" out there and I'm not sure I'd really be adding anything new to the mix. Blogs, like people, strive to find their own voice. Naturally, this often entails change. I'm happy enough with my blog at the moment, though I often begrudge the time it demands. I'm sure you feel the same way. There are only so many hours in the day. <br /><br />You're absolutely right about Angelina, though. I've been wanting to take some pictures - but the weather lately has been horrible (persistent gales and hurricane force winds). She's almost 12 years old now. Of course, she's not a puppy anymore - but she's still my baby.<br /><br />As a consequence of the winds, there hasn't been much happening in the garden either. All my trees are burnt up by the wind and things are generally quite grim. I have ordered some seeds for the spring season. They should arrive soon. I'm hoping the weather will have smartened up by the time I get them.Prosperohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07114988815558549577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135071957131268670.post-79016828577719241542010-03-02T23:12:27.342+00:002010-03-02T23:12:27.342+00:00Everything sound like it right on schedule, I'...Everything sound like it right on schedule, I'll be pooping back to update my blog this week as I have been busy now that I'm feeling much better.<br /><br />Hope hubby is feeling well and that its is also going well post op..Kellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007237364629419063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135071957131268670.post-39232852526258678372010-03-01T13:40:07.257+00:002010-03-01T13:40:07.257+00:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.CarBasicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10783140930744460174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135071957131268670.post-89896477494109840502010-02-28T18:09:09.486+00:002010-02-28T18:09:09.486+00:00Ahh thanks everyone for the comments.

Nothing in Mum's garden last week as it was covered in snow most of the time I was there (see my post). I'll be starting my seeds soon. First time I have tried growing from seed (you motivated me) so wish me luck. Pam xPam's English Gardenhttp://www.pamsenglishgarden.comnoreply@blogger.com
