We are still getting very mild weather here. Most of this week its been >10°C. I think this must have confused my ornamental cherry tree into thinking it's spring, as it has blossom:

Our garden rose has come into flower as well, and I still see bats flying around. Not what one would expect in late November!

Yes I had this too on another variety a month back, but our wet weather meant they were rotting faster than they could rippen. All 7 plants had good bunches of strawbs on them but I only harvested about 6 fruit. Now a different variety is flowering. Its an early variety but this is ridiculous.
