Spring 2024 in my garden
I start once again with an apology for the radio silence. To be honest I’ve done very little proper gardening until this week due to my availability and weather not matching up well.
I did finally get my sweetpeas planted out this week and a few other things from the greenhouse. I’ve also done a lot of weeding and tidying. I didn’t know I had so many weeds til I started looking! I’ve also redone my hanging basket. I even managed to kill the ivy last season by lack of watering (I think). I have, however, taken lots of pictures of the garden so I’ll share a few here.

Apologies once again for the silence.
I’ve actually been able to get into the garden and do things the last few days. It’s been so wet here and damp. The grass is more moss than grass and rather sponge like to walk on.
I sowed my sweetpea seeds a couple of weeks back in the greenhouse and a few have appeared.
I have done yet more tidying up, it never seems to end and some grass edge cutting and weeding.
We have a few things flowering at the moment. Hellebores, forsythia, daffodils and Camellias. I’ve included crocus too which are so pretty. Pictures below

First camellia of 2024
It’s started a bit earlier than some years and hopefully won’t be put off by sudden cold spell

First snow of 2024
I was not expecting to wake up to this today. We don’t get that much snow in my village, so if we do it tends to mean the higher ground around here will be thickly covered. I love looking at the snow on the garden but hate driving in it after a bad experience one winter when the main roads weren’t even gritted

RHS Glow at RHS Bridgewater Garden, Salford
Last night my friend and I went to the RHS garden in Salford for their Christmas light trail. Fortunately it wasn’t actually raining although a bit cold. I thought it was very well done and very pretty. I have been a couple of times before so recognised some of the different gardens even in the dark. Here are a few of my pictures

Snowdrops already
It seems a little early but the first of my snowdrops are flowering in my garden today
