Hi all, my garden isn't as advanced as many I see photo's of here, but took a look this morning and it's definitely woken up!  It was only the 3rd or 4th frost I've had since Autumn and went down to -2.5C last night.  The plants didn't seem to mind though!

Plenty to do, so back outside now! image

    It's all really coming on now Bob. The hard work last year's paying off image

    My raised beds are still in their infancy too, but many of the small plants are really establishing. I was beaten by the weather last autumn as I had hedging to put in as well, so I didn't get the last bed completed. I'll get to it soon image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    I remember all of your hard work last year FG;  Pay-off time is-a-coming! image  Now most of the bulbs are at least poking their noses through we can start planting new stuff in between.  Which means more shopping, too, of course! image

    I've probably got more than enough to fill my beds Bob, but I don't suppose it'll stop me buying some more plants!  image

    i will be back at my house this weekend where i will be able to see how the bulbs have come on, my first attempt at platning them. in autumn i planted King Aflreds, Hawera, Muscari armeniacum, Iris Danfordiae, Crocus Ruby Giant, Crocus Tricolor, Chionodoxa luciliae and some anemone blanda. will be exciting to see.

    Wow your daffs are flowering already! Ours are only just thinking about growing.

    Our garden is still very much green and brown. But I'm hoping the previous occupants will have left us a few nice surprises before we redesign it completely and loose any hidden bulbs!
