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

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

RHS Tatton Park flower show 2023
It’s a few years since I’ve been to this flower show for several reasons including lockdowns. When I got up this morning it was raining so much I was regretting having got the tickets because I thought the rain would spoil it. Fortunately, however, by the time we set off it had really cleared up so although muddy we didn’t get very wet. There were lots of gardens to see, show gardens, school ones and various new exhibits such as the long borders and I liked the vast majority. Also the amazing floral marquee. I didn’t buy a single plant but did take a lot of pictures some of which are below

Sweetpeas 2023
They’ve taken a while to get going this year likely due to strange weather but finally they are flowering and smelling beautiful
