Wow winter has truly hit us the week and we have been in the words of frozen Cold, Cold, Cold this has not made me want to get out into the garden to be honest but this is what I have noticed
1. Frozen Flowers - these primroses look just stunning covered in frost
2. Wall flowers have so far not done that well, hoping maybe they will do better in the coming months.
3. Autumn flowering bulbs that never flowered. I still have them in pots so think its time they went and we had some flowers in here.
4. What is happening to my violas they have lost all their flowers and are looking very sad, just when we need them looking at their best.
5. The daffodils are coming up but this reminds me how much I need to sort this area out as they are not very bee friendly
6. Broken bird feeder needs to be replaced, even the robin was using it and all the feeders both food and water need to be kept topped up during this cold spell

The primroses looked sugared, lovely! As for the violas, in my experience they always have a bit of a rest/look rubbish and then spring back later in all their glory. Hope so!
ReplyDeleteI know i loved the photo. I hope they spring back soon if not it is a trip to the garden centre x
DeleteThank you for this post! We all have many garden areas in need of work, or broken items in need of fixing. You are simply honest about the disappointments and post about them!
ReplyDeleteI think it is so important to show have a go and if it does not work try again. Thank you for your comments x
DeleteI love frost rimed plants and am intrigued with your perspex feeder. Looking forward to more from your garden.
ReplyDeleteit was a lovely feeder on the window and the birds loved it as did the children. yes lots of adventures to come x
DeleteYour wallflowers look ok to me for this time of year. I expect they'll push on when it warms up a bit.
