I think they are my favourite flower.


No.


I know they are.

I`m with you there Rusty. I think it`s the fact that no matter how bad
the weather is, they pop up regular as clock work reminding us that
spring will soon be coming and that the cold and damp conditions will
give way to warmth and sunshine.

That and the fact they are so pretty.

Couple of good gardens are open on the 14th and 15th of Feb in Bourne so
might be of interest for you.

Some of the woodland round here are carpeted with snowdrops, and later,
with bluebells (Bucket type).

Woodland! I should be so lucky. Our recently planted wood has possibly
not been underplanted yet. We dont have too many woodlands as you know.
The local church yard has a fantastic display of Bluebells tho once it
comes.

Makes me think of the Gertrude Jekyll 'joke' that gets recycled here every
so often: "no matter how small your garden, always set aside an acre for
woodland". ;-)

I read yesterday that Prince Charles's Highrove "only" employs 10 gardeners.

It drives me wild when books or tv shows go on about "small" gardens and
then show something close to an acre. If only I could have such a "small"
garden!

It's all so relative, isn't it? Someone who has moved from a tiny terrace
or a flat with a window box will think one third of an acre is a large
garden and two acres an estate! ;-)

Your probably not aware of the plan printed in the Boston Standard one
year about building a mountain to introduce skiing to lincolnshire.

I`ll let you guess the date but it was a VERY convincing plan.
