There is only one thing worse than being Gosho, and that is not being Gosho Started conversation Feb 29, 2016
The time of the year when the oak tree outside Castle Gosho, the oak tree that TFSIGTD (that 
squirrel is going to die) lives in, the oak tree that makes the pollen that makes me sneeze, drops its leaves all over my balcony and everything on it.
That means I'm going to have to get cracking with repotting my cacti soon. I remember learning when I first started collecting them, all those years ago (
), that the best time to do it is just before growing season gets getting underway after their winter dormancy (not that we've had much of a winter this year), and in the UK that would mean around March/April time. Here, in Texas, it almost always catches me out because it's so much earlier ("Final Freeze... Gardeners, are you ready for the growing season? Looking at the past 65 years of weather records, the average final freeze takes place on February 23rd in metro Austin, which was Tuesday. At the Airport, those records show an average final freeze of March 4th. The latest ever? April 9th (1914) in the metro and April 17th (1999) at the Airport"), and one of my cacti already has several flower buds on it (pictures to follow).
A tip to the garden centre is on the cards.

As I took a walk this afternoon, I watched a few anoles acting very much like it's Spring already.
So, as I figured that not everyone on a predominately British forum would be familiar with these little lizards, I found this video.

And now I'm curious. I always assumed that anoles changed color from brown to green depending on mood or background. Have I confused two species for one my entire life?
No, no I haven't.
