It has been very cold but bright and sunny so far this month. Lovely weather for gardening! The ground is beginning to dry out too, just right for digging. On Tuesday I finished off the edges of the lawn in the front garden. I didn’t take a photo, because it will look better when the rubbish is removed and the lawn cut!
Here’s my lovely bunch of daffodils peeping over my laptop screen as I type.
This morning (Wednesday) I have tended this corner of the back garden. It is underneath the big cedar tree, and slopes down to the lawn. It is actually quite full and I realised this morning how many different plants there are here! Some of them are:
- Black ophiopogen grass
- vinca major (varigated)
- centranthus (red valerian)
- cyclamen
- holly
- allium
- bluebell
- daffodils
- crocus
- iris (miniature)
- anenome blanda
- columbines
- hellebore foetidus
- geraniums
- scilla
- muscari
- Euonymus
- Bay
- pushkinia
- lady’s mantle (don’t know the proper name!)
- yellow grass
- nerine
- erigeron
- Lysimachia (loosestrife)
Other not so welcome include:
- bindweed
- couch grass
- ivy
- celendines
Not bad for 1 little corner of my garden!
