Hello all : ) I'm new to the forum and looking forward to picking brains and getting tips this year. I've been reading Gardeners World for a while and I thought it was about time I joined the online community.
Hopefully this year will be a drier one as last year was extremely challenging for everybody garden wise. I've been doing the usual tidy up and preparing beds, have some seeds on the go etc. quite exciting
im entering the 3rd year in my house and last year we decided to put some low maintence shrubs in so I dont have too many jobs to do other than a few weeds here and there and just looking after the seedlings in the house. I have chives,basil, parsley, strawbs and petunias not doing to bad at the moment. Im enjoying the lighter nights as it is nicer to walk my puppy we have had since oct in the evening.
I'm quite pleased that I managed to get a few bits done in the garden, even though I'm feeling under the weather. I finished edging the new vegetable bed and have moved the rhubarb into it, moved a small fruit tree into the raised planter near the greenhouse. Tomorrow I will have to scrub out the greenhouse ready for the new growing year...that will take me ages.
Planted out to pts of cylamen coum, hopefully they will eventually carpet the 2 beds i've put them in. Potted on plants that have been overwintering in GH
What a glorious day almost did not need a coat. I am on a short break in Cornwall. Today we went to the coast but tomorrow I am hoping that we can go and see the Magnolias at Lanhydrock.
