With all the doom and gloom of the current climate I was so pleased to have a wander in the (loose term alert!) garden yesterday and discover both colour and burgeoning growth.
This pot was brought with us in the move and has been left to it's own devices. I had actually forgotten that there were daffodils in there.....
The Cyclamen Coum we have had for years and years. We move them around the garden and tuck them into a cool spot when they have finished flowering ready for the following year. I would love them to set seed where they are now for future colour beneath the tree so we'll leave them a while this time....
There is a lot of work to be done in the new garden to make it 'Summer ready' but it will be done slowly and thoughtfully with a careful eye on the cost, because in this Frugal Year on a Tight Budget we need to grow as much food as possible on the allotment so money will need to be spent there too. At least I have the extra freezer in the garage this year and should be able to freeze much more produce for Winter. Watch this space!
A big welcome to my new follower! Thanks so much for popping in and stay safe wherever in the world you happen to be x

So good to see some colour now in the gardens. Quite uplifting in these worrying times.
ReplyDeleteI do envy you your cyclamen, I've never been able to grow them successfully. Your hellebore is spectacular.
ReplyDeleteI love that Hellebore.

Lovely pots full of colour to brighten up gloomy cold days. An extra freezer will be so useful . I wish I had space for one.
ReplyDeleteYour onions are well ahead, better get mine out ASAP.
ReplyDeleteHad some perennial cyclamen at Clay Cottage - need some here, yours are lovely
Its so lovely to see the spring flowers starting to come through.
ReplyDeleteIt all looks very beautiful. I can feel the changes here, too. The irises are blooming, and some of the fruit trees have blossoms. Growing food really does help us to spend less money.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty Hellebore. Lovely to have bits of colour in the garden now
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty flowers! Love the color of your hellebore!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty pots abound with colour. It is still a little drab here we are always a few weeks behind.
ReplyDeleteLove the pots of colour and the blossoms that are starting to appear.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
It's lovely to see colour emerging isn't it, a real sign of hope for the new season. I especially love seeing the buds on the trees, and our Fig and Apple tree both have buds now. There's also blossom appearing along the canal towpath and on the trees on the main road.
ReplyDeleteEven in my tiny space I am hoping to have a bit of food growing soon, sadly I have no room for onions though!
Your pots of colour are beautiful and a lovely surprise if you had forgotten about the daffodils :) You are way ahead of me with the onions. I do mine the same way in trays and then plant them out. Always seems to give a better crop.
