Month: December 2016

Was out the other day for a little while and got in the daphne Bholua near the gate so I will getthe perfume as i go in and out. Also gathered some leaves and cut back remains of shasta daisies and divided Angels fishin rods-probably a bad time to do so?

Then today I went to spend an hour tidying the garage but went a wandering and found my gamble in plantin daffs in boggy ground may yet pay off. The first was through today! I have one snowdrop Colossus just out (Thank you paddy and Mary) and should have a daff next week-I can see the yellow! Then I noticed a lovely shallow bowl my daughter had given me had been shriven by the frost. Sad but I replaced it with a large iron cooking pot that was at the base of the rockery and that I had intended shifting anyway. The rockery steps now stand out much more clearly and Micilin Dee telsl me That the new placing of ‘ thash Tradishional cooking untenshil is absholutely perfect sho it ish!’ and who am I to argue?

And the garage-well I got a third done and found lots of things and tied up all my canes into proper bundles so that they dont fall all over the place.

Oh and Lord Buddha’s plinth is settling in nicely though still grey and raw.

Paths are made by walking and walking is one step after the other!

Wishing everyone a very happy 2017 and lots of good gardening experiences!

I got some cutting down and shredding done today, I work on the a bit here and a bit there system so I haven’t any lovely neat section to show, but it was lovely to see the young growth on Sedum and Aquilegia and enjoy gorgeous scent from Sarcococca while I worked.
