We have some daffs of unknown variety which I've been dead-heading for a week now They're in clumps up against the south facing house wall so get an early start.
Others in the ground and in pots are flowering sporadically and others are hardly showing buds. The new Thalia are just budding and showing great promise. Must get some more of those.

Hi all so far I have pruned my roses,still a relative beginner really so I hope I have done it right! I have potted up some primroses,planted some bluebells in the green and done a bit of weeding.I have also hung a little bird house .Can't wait to get out more. ! Also am enjoying the new GW series
Went out to greenhouse, only have pots of narcissi in there at the moment. The max/min thermometer showed max 40.5 ( door was shut, but l do have automatic vents), min was 0.8. At the time l was in there it was 3.3. This is over the last 2 days, talk about one extreme to the other ! No gardening today, too cold
Temps OK so far today but a bit wet. However, I've cleaned a third of the shade bed and planted out some pots of proper bluebells, a hellebore and a couple of carex grasses. Also cleaned a small round bed, just over a metre wide, which seems to be full of couch grass.
New gardening friends here now so I'm off to be sociable.

Have done a bit of inside gardening, potted up some more seedlings. Conservatory is getting a bit full now. Need to get some of them into the greenhouse, hopefully I'll be able to to do this after the current cold snap.
Got the heated bench back in action (much later than usual) so hoping to get toms and peppers going in time for an improvement in the weather. Usually have a ton of stuff in the cons. by now.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
Me too Bob, although I do have a few trays of seeds I don't fancy their chances - although we have had a few nice sunny days this week - but not today. I have fed the birds and taken delivery of some bulbs, OH has been to the green waste site with a trailer full of garden refuse - old roots, grass cuttings etc.
This time last year we had potatoes in & earthed up most of the early bulbs were over this year no chance. Lets hop after the thaw this week that winter really is finished I have had enough now.
