It’s one of my days off today and I had lots of plans – not sure I’ll be doing any of them. I don’t like driving in the snow and walking even less. Sadly they included replacing my boots that let the water in. Oh well, I’ll have to put up with wet feet a bit longer!
I do, however, love looking at the snow so here’s what my garden looks like today
I actually managed about half an hour in my garden weeding and tidying up and noticed these flowering. Aren’t they lovely? I’m looking for a specific snowdrop ‘Wendy’s gold’ next, but also would like some more snowdrops in general to cheer up the garden
If you’ve been following my blog for any length of time you’ll be aware that these are my favourite winter flower. So delicate and a welcome addition to an otherwise dead garden in winter.
My local garden centre were giving 50% off any outdoor plant this month and I just loved this particular plant so coulbgt resist it for £6.50! I love the uprightness of flower, colour and the fact it’s a bit bigger than normal. No idea where I will plant it though!
Sorry it’s late but I wanted a picture of something flowering to join my blog and I’ve only just found it!
My camellia (Debbie), that’s the of it not my name for her has flower out. It’s lives in the greenhouse in winter only because it’s a container as I didn’t know whereabouts in the garden to plant it. They can be kept outside in winter if in the ground.
I also have hyacinths flowering and giving off a fantastic scent.
Greetings from a dull northwest England garden, but at least it’s not raining.
This really will be my last my blog of the year! Thank you for following, liking and commenting.
I have several hellebores currently flowering in my garden, a bit early I think but actually one (not pictured) has been trying to flower since the summer. Very confused.
Here are my pictures. Wishing you all a happy New Year.
Wishing all my readers a happy peaceful Christmas and joy filled New year. This is probably my last blog of the year
Sorry this isn’t a real tree but it is ours!
I have a stone hexagonal pot that has recently been vacated by a dahlia that refused to flower. I should also say that I inherited this pot from my maternal grandparents nearly 20 years ago and it’s the oldest in the garden but still in great condition. I went shopping for a plant for it earlier this week and couldn’t find anything suitable. Then yesterday I was leaving my job and my colleague brought me a Christmas rose and it looks lovely in the pot. I have numerous hellebores (another name for the Christmas rose) around the garden but a lot of them get diseased and it spreads between them so hopefully being in a pot will stop this. Here it is planted up this afternoon
Greetings from a dull, but fairly mild day in my garden.
On Monday I joined a gardens hour chat on twitter and we were asked to say hi and one word to describe our gardening weeks. I said quiet but actually now it would be leaves. They are everywhere and I’m about to dress in my gardening clothes to brush some up. We don’t do leave mould as it doesn’t work for us, they just get all slimy in a bag. Maybe I’m doing something wrong. Anyway, this tree is looking great at the moment but I’m not looking forward to clearing up after it
Greetings on a cold but dry day from my garden in northwest England.
I have almost finished tidying the garden if that’s ever possible. I guess I just have to decide when to stop.
I have finished my tulip planting today (pictures of bulbs below) and this year have also planted pansies in some of the pots. I realise that the tulips this year are nearly all pale – not intentional.
