Six on Saturday - Frosts to Muddy Puddles

It has been a strange old week but ideal for a six on Saturday post

1. A trip to the frost covered garden centre, the weather was so cold but yet so beautiful and I thought this view was stunning.




2. Then the rain came and our clay soil turned into a series of muddy puddles.



3. Cheeky snowdrops, we have this tiny group snowdrops, I love them so much and just want more, but the last lot did not work so hoping to try again in autumn.



4. Tiny signs of life, this is the rose I pruned the other week. Look you can see small signs of it waking up.



 5. Cleaning out the bird boxes, we thought we needed to get the bird boxes ready for spring, when I opened the front and found this nest I nearly cried with delight. It is perfect and shows how we need all the moss and little bits in the garden to help the birds.





6. We took down the kids swing and slide as it was getting dangerous and recycled a lot of the wood as edging. Full blog to follow, but our middle kid loved helping us out

  1. Sometimes snowdrops sulk for a year when moved before flowering the next. I think they are best planted in the green ie with leaves just after flowering. Sometimes the dried bulbs are just too dry to grow again

  2. I was just going to suggest moving them 'in the green'. You can split the ones you have right after flowering and extend your flowers that way. Good luck. :)

  3. Am new to snowdrops myself. I gather they work best when planted in the green, after flowering, rather than as bare bulbs in the autumn. I did bulbs in October and while some have come through, far from all of them. May add to them by buying some in a few weeks.
