Six on Saturday - Time to think and watch

This is my first six on Saturday, it has been something I have wanted to do for a while.

This is about our week of walks and thinking

1. Walking round Sheffield Park and seeing the trees so bare and reaching up to the sky compared with the Rhododendron starting to bud and the beautiful winter blossom







 2. Sitting with a cuppa and looking at plant catalogues and planting. I am thinking in much more detail this year and hoping to achieve more with my planting this year.




3. Viburnum Tinus this beauty flowers in the winter and always gives us so much pleasure.





4. This standard rose lost all its shape so I am researching how to prune it and get it looking better for next year.




5. Remembering to water these Elaeagnus ebbingei  they need to be re potted but are providing a great screen but I must remember to water them.





6. I left these little plants all year and look how they have come up again this year such a bright colour.

  1. Hiya, welcome to the gang, hope to see you again soon! Always lovely to see a debut Six. The Sarah Raven catalogues are lush aren't they!

  2. Careful....once you start the Six-on-Saturday, you can't stop! I assume you live in Sheffield. We lived near the city for 20 years and have very happy memories of the area. Nice Six, if you look at some of the other Sixes, you will see the variety of things we all waffle on about - some with rather a tenuous link to the garden!!
