Great Regulars: Today that wholesome sense

of a season with its own characteristics and merits has been undermined by anxiety, the press has been full of letters recording strange out-of-season flowerings and we are perhaps in danger of falling out of love with the mildness for which we used to be envied by gardeners in, say, New England.

from James Fenton: The Guardian: How does your garden grow?
