Roses 2024

These are the roses flowering in my garden so far this season, there are a few more to come. I’ve named those that I know the names of, some have been in so long I don’t know the variety.

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

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

Winter colour

My garden is very wet at the moment due to so much rain. I did manage to finish most of my tidying up jobs so the garden is ready for winter. I have a bit of a winter colour still so here are some pictures

My hanging basket keeps on going

This is only my second ever hanging basket and I bought it pre-planted in October 2022. The viola has been flowering pretty much non-stop since last October, the ivy and grass were in it as were the sunflower seeds. I’ve added a few things and am really pleased with how it looks. I’ll need to change it a bit for winter when my tumbling Tom finishes
