My passion in life is gardening and specifically growing flowers from seed

Snowdrops at last

I thought they had rotted or been eaten but I should have remembered that plants/bulbs in my northern garden are never as far ahead as the south. So I’m very pleased to have found some flowering when I was out just now tidying up again. I keep thinking I’ve finished tidying but I don’t think I ever will. It’s a bit cold for me really (not good for my chest) but I was glad to be outside. I really miss it in winter. So here are the snowdrops I’ve found. A bit small I know but better than nothing and I’m definitely going to get more next year

Happy New Year 2020

Happy new year everyone! It seems to have come round so quickly! Just sharing a photo of our witch hazel plant that’s in bud – I love seeing things in bud. This is the best picture I could get

Christmas 2019

We’ve finally decorated our first tree, it’s artificial but I really like it! We also have a Christmas cactus in flower. Pictures below.

Wishing all my readers a lovely Christmas and happy new year. Thanks for following this year!

Wordless Wednesday – Christmas rose

Happy 1st December!

Apologies first of all for my lack of blog posts lately, life has just been too busy. However, apart from more leave collection and compost spreading (I thought I’d finished but the heap fell over) the garden is ready for winter.

This morning it’s very frosty and looks quite pretty, not sure my pictures do it justice though.

Wordless Wednesday- flowers from our garden

Roses and calicarpa

Apologies

For the complete lack of blogging recently. I’ve been very busy working and not in the garden come to that, although I have done most of my tidying up jobs. Just a few left and the dahlias to bring into the greenhouse (which I haven’t even got round to cleaning yet). Here is a picture of Calicarpa currently flowering in my garden. I think this is its best year yet. In the background is a dogwood
