St Catherine's Day 25th November

#1 Post by Bayleaf »

As hinted by myself and Liz in the Weather thread, today is St Catherine's Day.

Here is an interesting (somewhat grim but lighthearted) backstory. I always remember customers coming to the Pépinière around this time and saying they always plant just after this day!
