  • I'm really looking forward to the snowdrops appearing, as year on year they increase in size, and in the dark appear to glint and shine

    Also looking forward to a clematis, which has been very slow to grow, I'm trying to train it along the front wall of the garden.

    I'm hoping for more flowers from it this year, last year had about 4, !

    It's the snowdrops that do it for me, but when the viburnum comes out.......image

    I find the year goes by fast enough without wishing it away an increasingly find it's important to live in the moment and enjoy what is.  

    I also like the coldest winter months for doing maintenance on fences and trellis and so on whilst the perennials are nearly all dormant but with highlights in the garden so snowdrops, hamamelis and hellebores are welcome in heir own time along with all the other early spring bulbs and primulas.

  • Ahh Spring my favourite time of year everything coming out fresh and new, and I do like those surprises when something comes up that you have forgot you planted.

    also a busy time in the garden can't wait to get seed sowing ahh bliss.

    As might be expected, I love to see the purple "bullets" of emerging hostas in the Spring.
