Last year a friend who came to lunch gave me a present and when it was over I put it outside by the kitchen wall and forgot all about it. This is what I've just found!
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Hi everyone, I'm new to GW forum (just signed up today). Its a great site isnt it. Same as everyone else been enjoying the recent good weather days in the garden, mainly tiding up at the moment. Looking forward to the spring and hoping for a drier summer. I had great plans to start transforming my garden last year. I cut part of a new border in June (jubilee weekend) and then the heavens opens and as we all know it never stopped, well not long enough to do anything worthwhile. So I'm desparate to get gardening this year.
Figrat...What a lovely Clematis freckles, mine's been a tab bit disappointing, started to flower in December but a very poor display, there's lots of green leaves though and new growth.
Clematis jingle bells hasn't been much better and there's alot of dead leaves on that. When do you prune.I can't get my head around pruning clematis . I've one which flowers in spring and then puts on a show in late summer.
Discovered a Christmas rose in flower today,hidden behind a fern. I've little daffs in bud and tulips are coming up really early.

I love this combination:
clematis freckles (flowering now)
with this hellebore underneath
Trouble is, you need to be 3" high to get full effect.

Snowdrops are up , only have a few but they're multiplying slowly, some daffs poking their way too. Geraniums coming up from the earth, wonderful.
This afternoon in the garden, but I expect most of you have this too!

Does anyone know how long it is before a new hellibore plant flowers? I thought I read somewhere it is 7 years!
