Last winter, I planted my poinsettia in the garden after it finished flowering... this year, it's turned into a whopping bush! :P Have any of you planted yours in the garden?
I've seen it grow as tall as a tree in a neighbour's garden... but I think I'm going to keep mine trimmed as a bush. ... See MoreSee Less

No way would a poinsettia survive in the garden here in N E Scotland😊

Wow!! It's beautiful. In Wisconsin they don't get planted outside.

It's beautiful. I don't think it would survive a British Winter.

I did for a summer in NY but then it had to come in. I know in hot climates they can get huge.

They won't survive our winters in New York State.

Beautiful

I haven’t but I love them. Perfect beauty for your garden!

I have mine in a pot outside

So pretty! Lucky you! The US can only grow poinsettias outside in a few places like the tip end of Florida or California 😢. Our temperatures just get too low.

I'm in southern California and plant ours in the garden, but only 2 have survived so far....Mine looks no where near as nice as yours! My neighbors have some large bushes in their yards, so I'm optimistic mine will grow nicely. I think we may have similar climates.

We can have them in South Georgia! That’s gorgeous!

The poinsettia would not survive winter in Ohio, USA.

Beautiful!

So beautiful!

Nice! Here they would freeze(New Jersey) my grandfather grew his in the green house

Stephanie Tackley, how is yours doing?

Beautiful

I am on the east coast of Aus and I had 2 outside and they where about 1 and a half metre tall and about metre wide absolutely beautiful at Christmas also will grow from a cutting

Love this! Think I might give it a try.

Too cold here

You must have a wonderful climate for those, "Down Under"! Just finished your new Bewitched by Chocolate book, loved it! I love all of your tales and always look forward to each new one😍

Always..they are beautiful flowers

They don't work in my area... you end up with a sad twig with one set of leaves at the top... :-(

Looks gorgeous. Will definitely give this a go. Is it in full sun ??

Beautiful!!!

Book research help please! If you don't have enough anti-freeze in your car, what happens on a cold day? Does the engine just freeze and won't start? Can you start it again (without a mechanic) by warming the engine up? Or topping up the anti-freeze?
Thank you! :-) ... See MoreSee Less

Katherine Rogers do you know the answer?

if you don't put antifreeze in your car your water will freeze in the radiator and it could also crack the head and crack the head engine block as well. engine will start but with no water circulating it's bad for the engine that's what I've been told

Your engine cracks. It can happen whenever you run out of antifreeze/coolant in any temp. You need your entire motor replaced-know from experience 😂

My sister is having trouble lately of her 4 year old car not starting after it’s been raining. If she lets it dry out naturally or gives the engine a quick blast with a hairdryer it’ll start again! I know it’s nothing to do with anti freeze but it’s a reason her car won’t start

The engine cracks, adding more antifreeze won’t help

Anti-freeze doesn’t affect the starting of your car...if you don’t have enough, your car will overheat and then your warning light will come on, telling you your car is overheating and then you have to shut it down because your radiator will be overflowing and steam will be coming out from under your hood. 😊

If you're just low on anti-freeze your car will start and a light will come on in car indicating low antifreeze and you just add more to it. The only time your car freezes is if you put water in the engine. So if the antifreeze is low you just have a mechanic and more antifreeze

If the antifreeze is low, top it off with water, the car will start and you can get to where you want to go. Having low antifreeze will not keep a car from starting.

If you are looking for something else, I had a car that had an exposed copper wire. Whenever it rained or got wet, it would not start until it dried.

In Northern New York, it would depend on what else is in the reservoir. If it's water, you will get wild temp swings. But, unless you have a leak, that rarely happens. It won't keep a car from going, but in heat, I think it would cause more damage.

Sort of the opposite but engines can over heat If this little thing that controls the temp malfunctions. I've had it happen that it burst the rubber pipe from excess steam. So all the water came out of the engine. Looked quite dramatic but after if cooled we were able to cut the rubber pipe to shorten it and I found an overflow drain with water in and used a bottle to replace enough water to get us going again.

If it’s for one of your UK based books. It would have to be extremely cold to freeze the diesel. I only remember it being mentioned on the news once or twice in my life (50 years).

Radiator will freeze and bust or crack and can crack the car's head block.

easier to just have it run out of petrol & top it up from a can.

It will freeze engine and crack block if the weather is freezing.. If hot weather it will get hot and you will have to turn off or engine will over heat and freeze up from heat.

Thank you so much everybody - you've all been a huge help! :-)

It also depends on location.... If you don't get constant freezing temps.... Your car will start. Not happily... But it will start without anti freeze. I've driven cars with water only in radiators in CA USA and not had an engine block crack. I suggest calling mechanics in the general local your writing about and asking them the what ifs. :)

The engine block cracks you need a new motor😥in Wisconsin you learn that when your 16

It overheats in summer and wrecks the motor if you don't turn it off in time. Clouds of smoke blow out.

If the block cracks it probably won't start. It freezes up even in summer it seizes. My daughter did that

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "... the perfect blend of magic and mayhem. This series has me completely bewitched!"

Caitlyn Le Fey is enjoying her first autumn in England, nut-picking in the forest, creating delicious treats in her grandmother's enchanted chocolate shop, and dreaming of cosy evenings with the handsome Lord James Fitzroy. But the peace is shattered when a mysterious woman claiming to be a witch arrives in the village. Some love her, others fear her... and one person is driven to murder.
Soon Caitlyn finds herself drawn into a mystery with links to ancient witch trials and--with the help of her toothless vampire uncle and a few magical spells of her own--she sets out to do some sleuthing. But strange things are happening, and Caitlyn is worried and confused. Why isn't her kitten Nibs growing any larger? What does the new guest at Huntingdon Manor really want? And what is the jewel that seems to be exerting a sinister influence over her cousin Pomona?
There are dark forces gathering in the village of Tillyhenge, and Caitlyn is about to discover that the savage tradition of witch-hunting is still very much alive... ... See MoreSee Less

For those who were worried about the bees - here's a selection of the things that have been flowering in my Winter garden the past 3 months... I don't think the bees are going to miss one dandelion ;-)
We're lucky to have very mild winters in Perth (temps in 20C / 70F+ in the daytime) and lots of rain, so it's really more like spring in a lot of the UK and the US :-) It's the only time I can grow a lot of the "cool climate" flowering plants, like sweet peas, pansies, stocks, spring bulbs, etc, which all keel over when it starts getting warmer.
Clockwise from Top Left: Hardenbergia (Australian native), Osteospermum, Bearded Iris, Dutch Iris, Osteospermum, Pansies, Dahlia, Honeysuckle, Azalea "Antarctica", Flame Pea Bush (Australian native), Everlasting Daisies (Australian native) & Dutch Iris + Centre photo: Bee enjoying some Nemesia ...

Beautiful garden

You've definitely got green fingers. I love all those flowers. They're beautiful.

Just beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing!❤️

I wasn't worried!!! Amazing how people want to find fault.... I love your flowers!

This summer I had the true forget-me-not flowers (the plants are tall and spread like crazy!) all over my raised beds. The honey bees loved them. I kept wanting to cut them back since they were spreading everywhere but since we had so many bees visiting the forget-me-nots we decided to wait until the plants started dying off to cut all the plants back.

So pretty! You must spend a lot of time in your garden.

Looks like your garden is doing wonderful!

I plant Bee and pollinator friendly plants also my passion flower is visited often.... I also have a koi/fish pond and love seeing the dragon flies and damsel flies that visit.

Beautiful. Lavender is great too. Very hardy and bees love it. In the heat I have shallow bee baths as well in my garden.

You have the most beautiful gardens.

Beautiful!

Lol you crack me up! I’m constantly killing off on flower and adding another. I think the 🐝 appreciate the variety

Loved this story

Loved it.

No discount in Australia 😠😠😠

Excellent, very highly recommended

Ashley Will. I prefer the Bewitched by Chocolate series to this one but it’s still good. x

I <3 this cover so much! I'll have to add this to my wishlist!

I absolutely adore this series!

Love all your books!! When is the next book in this series?

I have the paperback and the second one on Kindle. I still need the third one.

I wish I could just buy your book. I like to have a book in hand and not on a I pad . Please think of selling them in print.

Just reading this and loving it

Muesli enjoying her afternoon nap in the garden... beneath one of my gorgeous azaleas! This one has been trained as a "standard" (tree shape) and has been the star of the garden the last few weeks. It's fading slightly now but still beautiful. My roses are full of buds and just about to start their spring flush, so they'll be taking over soon! ;-) ... See MoreSee Less

Beautiful and just how pictured your garden. BTW - I'm on the 4th book of the Summer Beach series. You are so descriptive that I can picture it. The description of the banana bread breakfast made my mouth water. You are an awesome author!

Beautiful!

Lovely

Love Muesi's markings - similar to my cat Moggins I had as a child.

So pretty!

Wow

Don’t know which is prettier, Muesli or your garden. You have obviously invested a great deal of love and care in both. ❤️

We have tons of azaleas where we live. I've never seen one shaped into a tree before! It's pretty!

Love it😘

Beautiful. Garden and kitty

I love azaleas! It’s makes me sad to think about the ten year-old azalea bonsai my husband gave me (when we were stationed in Japan over 30 years ago) that I unintentionally killed from over watering though. 😭To make me feel better, he lined the areas by our front door with azalea bushes instead. 🥰

How long have you had this azalea H.Y. Hanna? It’s enormous.

Love to Muesli. Spring has begun here in Tassie

What a pretty garden

How beautiful.

Gorgeous

Love your garden photos.

Love your garden as much as I love your books!

I live in the South in the US & we have lots of azaleas, but I've never seen one trained like that! It's absolutely beautiful!

Muesli knows she is the hallmark of the garden not the azalea.

Plant a patch of Milkweed and attract some Monarchs. Honey would approve.p

This is absolutely gorgeous! I love your place 😁💗💗💗

Oh my yes that’s gorgeous love the colors
