Morning all

Good morning to all. Late night coffee ruined my sleep. Hopefully, sun will be out and will be in the garden to finish the job started.

Planted a skimmia and will plant a Deutzia, 2 Orleanders today. Might get some hebes for 2 or 3 quids to put near the walls.

Morning all not gardening weather cold frost and a snow flurry, looks like February’s another cold month .

 

[alp]

Definitely, Zenji! How disappointing. One would think that as the calendar progresses, the weather will get warmer! Dream on!

 

[Logan]

I have got things to do outside,but too cold.
Got to empty another compost bin,plant 20 pots of crocuses, finish off the hellebores.
Hubbys going to get some more compost,he didn't want to get it because it will be very cold, but he'll be busy next week.

As the days get longer, it gets colder.

Just hung out the laundry , despite full sunshine it's still absolutely frrrrrrrrrreezing!!!!!!
Will wait until the greenhouse gets toasty warm and sit in there with a BIG mug of hot choccy and potter amongst the pots.

Wrap up well folks, make sure you have your Thermals on

Thank you to the admin! Save me a lot of time and energy!

OK! it's a mess, decidedly, but hey, it's glorious at this time of the year!

Please ignore the nutritional material underneath!

These are the plants I planted yesterday. The first one is called Glenda's Gloss and it is more interesting feasting your eyes on the backs of the buds.

Next one is my beloved Lily

Then It's Anna's Red. Very red indeed.

The last photo really encapsulates its beauty!

@alp they're beautiful.

 

[alp]

Thank you. You must have some beautiful ones yourself. I have now gone to use the Met Office weather report and you can see it tomorrow. Haven't done much. But planted out some Kniphofia, some ground hugging phlox. Tomorrow, I will plant some salvias. They will be very happy there. Incidentally, I have accidentally found 2 wallflowers! They've just come up to say Hello!

It's more than i've done,did a bit of vaccuming. Hubby got the compost, some vermiculite for when i sow the snaps, it's better to cover them with that than compost. Also he got some tomato feed.

 

[alp]

What snaps are you talking about? Sugar snaps?

 

[Logan]

Snapdragons.
