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

March 2024

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

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

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

Peony

Another flower that hasn’t been posted about before. We have several Peonies and this is by far the best

Campanula

I don’t think I’ve ever posted a picture of this on here before. It’s a very easy going flower and I have it in blue and white in the garden. Not sure where it came from but I’m very happy it’s here. It’s very easy going and seems to grow anywhere, I never water it just cut it to the ground when the flowers have finished
