im just the same im in the second year of my new house and recently dug a new bed ,so its looking very bare and i cannot resist the GC and bulk buying in bulbs ,lilies,dahlias also buying a purple climbing rose ( hope it is actually purple ) and a shrub or two , ive even started to pot on my windowsil of poppys and a first flush of sweetpeas.....come on spring we are all waiting for you !
Looked around yesterday and was well pleased to see flower buds appearing on the early shrubs, also on the clematis cartmanii. Really felt that spring was springing
I have a large garden to fill so always head for the plant sale. Latest purchase was a bare looking pyracantha with orange berries. it has been in garden about 3 weeks and is already looking happier. I do tend to buy plants I want if not the exact variety in the sales.
I agree, us gardeners are such a happy lot! The smallest bud at this time of year gives so much pleasure. Welcome newbee flowergirl and happy gardening.
We have had a couple of very nice sunny days, Im hoping that the next few will be good too. I want to get out in the garden and tackle the outstanding digging and pruning jobs I need to do in order to be ready and take delivery of the copious amounts of plants I ordered for free yes free... How happy am I?
Morning Dave, not many of us around yet. My garden is looking a mess, ground sodden, on a hillside but wet clay, so can be tricky gardening at this time of year. Have someone coming in Spring to sort out my steps, currently dangerous and highly likely to take a tumble!

things are beginning to stir here at last and the sun has been seen in the sky along side the Asteroid.
