Today in the garden
We did a little tour this afternoon and were pleasantly surprised at
what is showing signs of life and/or actually flowering, apart from snowdrops and some early daffs. The Persicaria Red Dragon is pushing through well (why more people don't grow this I don't understand!) Oemleria cerasiformis is flowering well, Lonicera tatarica is starting to show signs of life, an unknown white Malus (?) is flowering, Camellia Takanini, a wonderful plant that we got from Trehane, is flowering brilliantly and C. Cherub is just starting to show some colour but lots of the other Camellias are still in tight bud. One of our un-named Rhododendrons, a pink one, has been in flower for a couple of weeks now, Iris sibirica has never flowered better than this year and of course there's Vinca in flower to a greater or lesser extent, all over the place! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

This method has always been very successful and brings plenty of beans for such a small garden. Nice sunny day here on the South East Coast of the Isle of Wight Mike -- .................................... I'm an Angel, honest !

Nothing much here, crocus flowering, daffs in vertical bud, snowdrops still keeping their heads well down, no leaves over an inch tall, but there is a dandelion in full flower. The birds are showing signs of spring but all camellias are not even showing a flush of colour on the buds, they look as if they won't do anything till April, though some of the Hawthorn buds are swelling well. Locally there is Hazel with catkins hanging 2 to 3 inches long and a winter almond tree solid in flower. Crazy. |
