Ever so slowly the garden is coming back to life and here are a few highlights of what we are up to and plan to do.....
1. New Lawn beginnings, our lawn has been a right mess then last year our gardener did some work with seeding, scarifying and laying a layer of soil on top and it looked so much better. So they have been again this year and we have this, I am sure it will get better. Though the amount of mud walked into the house is never ending.
2. Seed arrival, our GYO seeds have arrived and can not wait to get planting
3. Prepared the raised beds and cleared out from last year. Now need to get a little more compost and we are ready to go
4. Forsythia is starting to bloom, the only time of year I like the plant.
5. Foxgloves, they had died down and I cut them right back as you can see the new shoots coming through.
6. The Viola's are coming back to life I am so happy about this and the wonderful Gill you were right they did. They really do make all these grey and dull days a little easier.

Those are great violas...a couple of years ago I tried these, but they really acted as slug food!
ReplyDeleteYour violas look great in those containers. They are such great winter bedding - after a hard frost they look so bedraggled but they always perk up.
ReplyDeleteLots of good prep going on there. I am an indifferent grower of veg, preferring the ornamental side of things, but even I am getting a little bit excited by the veg this year. Has to be easier than last year, right?
