The Delargo Gardens - January


Hear we are me dears at the end of January. Well into the new year and our second year in our new garden.

A mild month on the whole but even so we have had some frost ( -3 or -4 ) and a little snow too.

There is not a lot to show you but we do still have some flowers


 One bowl of dianthus super trouper sissy gave up and died but the other refuses to stop flowering


 'Hollies Beauty', 'Thalia' and a few of the other Fuchsias have kept on going sheltered in between the houses


 bella rosella


 Amistad which is not hardy has also refused to die down, -


 along with the amazing cobaea scandens


We also have the old Winter stalwarts  of course.


 Donna Delargo was given these cyclamen for free from our local garden centre. Half dead and mouldy a good dose of athletes foot powder sorted them out lovely. They have been in flower non stop since the Autumn.


 Staying with cyclamen but moving on to ' heralds of Spring'


 cyclamen coum, dug up and moved from the old garden.


and a very, very early auricula


 Miserable and damp it certainly has been.


 Our temporary pelargonium house seems to be giving the shelter needed to get our little collection through it all.



We have been able to sit out in the winter sun on a few days


 Outside the kitchen window -


and our back door we still have flowers and plants to enjoy while we start to  think about seed sowing.
 

 also from there we can keep an eye on our Spring bulbs -


while Doncaster Donny can keep an eye on us.



There tiz then me lovelies

    Anyway, looking forward to re-potting, dividing, pruning and everything that goes with it when we get back from Spain. Jx
