I finished weeding the 2nd main front bed, lots of lovely blue irises coming up under my orange flowered witchhazel which is just coming into bloom. The plan was that the irises would bloom at the same time, so they'd better hurray up.
OH managed to get the shredder out of the shed without help and has very helpfully shredded all the pruned apple branches for me so he's replenished the bark mulch path.

I spoke too soon @pansyface Big snow, little snow though. It's only lying at a bit more altitude. It's still there [from Friday] up at the windfarm. All the lower hills round here [the Campsies and some of the Corbetts] are looking very bonny - when the sky's clear enough to see them. Nice to have a bit of normality for the time of year
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
My RTBC is that there's still enough light in the sky to be outside until nearly 6pm... not that I have been today, since it's raining and blowing a hoolie! Still, it augurs well...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Having envied my neighbours' narcissi paperwhite (I know some people dislike the smell) I saw Carlo had just dug up and was about to bin quite a few. He happily gave me them and when I counted them there were 80 bulbs! I reciprocated with beer and home-made limoncello.

Hi Bee witched; we love it too - so beautiful and the weather isn't too bad either . Been here three years and five months now. Our neighbours frequently give us lemons so OH makes limoncello whilst I bake lemon drizzle cake, including one for them as a "thank you". If you ever decide to return you are most welcome to visit.

I play with plants and soil and sometimes it's successful

Spent a fabulous 4 weeks touring around there one year.
