Heavy headed flowers.

A few years back I planted some chrysanthymums  in the garden,  each year  they seem to get  taller and taller  and  this year I've had a real problem trying to keep them upright.  They are staked,  but so top heavy especially after the rain when the flower heads are waterlogged.

Coming up next to them are clumps of narcissi which are in bud already....  normally they don't flower until January and February.

Strange day today,  looked like rain but I did the washing anyway and thought it could always finish off in the drier.  As it happened it didn't start to rain till about an hour ago and by then it was all dry and put away.  John is still working in the kitchen - tiling shelves now -  much safer on 2 feet  than 4 wobbly step ladder legs!
