First tulips of 2022 in my garden


I realise I’ve not been posting much lately and well I guess I’ve been too busy actually working in the garden weather permitting. It’s been pretty cold and wet here in the north west of England for a few months now with the exception of this weekend. I have been busy taking pictures though and compared to my pictures of the garden on May 2020 it’s quite behind.




I started my seed sowing in the greenhouse today. Sunflowers which I haven’t grown for a long time, Tithonia which are new to me. I think Monty Don on BBC Gardeners world grows them and I always like them so thought I would give them a go. Also some poppies probably more than I wanted as the seeds are tiny!
