Looking forward to spring

It has been feeling spring like this week, not sure how long that feeling will last, but it has been good to see the buds on the trees and the ground after all that snow! Even the birds sound like spring may be just around the corner. Even if it isn’t, here is a picture that will make you feel like spring is on it’s way.

Frosty days

My oh my it is cold out there at the moment, not much gardening for me at the mo, I look forlornly out the window at  my garden knowing I can not do much out there. Mind you the gardens do look beautiful in the frost and snow, which is why I am glad I left the seed heads on some of my perennials and grasses, they look stunning in the frost.

This cold snap is set to continue but there are things that I can do inside, like ‘chit’ my seed potatoes and even sow some salad onions and hardy lettuce under cover, and of course, sort out my seed packets ready for planting. I shall leave you with a gorgeous photo of cow parsley in the snow!

January garden

It has been a while since I wrote anything and Christmas has come and gone. I have a new online shop now which looks great and am slowly but surely adding things on to it like succulents in vintage tea cups, cornus love hearts for valentines, chillie love hearts and plants in various vintage style pots.

I have also been utilising old work boots and planting succulents in them, they grow really well in them. The lovely old watering cans get planted up too, a really good way to use up ones with holes in the bottom!

The winter garden is looking bleak but I did leave lots of seed heads on the plants and didn’t cut away anything really and it is a joy to see the local birds pecking at them and finding the bugs hibernating amongst them, really glad I left it untouched now.

Till next timex
