The Delargo Gardens - March



Here we are then me lovelies. March has been and gone, Spring has Sprung and the pots are full of colour. 


 The cyclamen are still flowering their little hearts out and the blue of Ipheion uniflorum “Jessie” and “Rolf Fiedler” are pure joy



 Anemone blanda


 and the welcome return of Chionodoxa forbesei “Pink Giant”


 We bought two mixed bags of crocus last Autumn.


 One of miniature crocus and one of giant crocus


 The miniatures were disappointing to say the least and got lost in with Iris reticulata


 The giant crocus were fab though.


 and held their own against the showy hyacinths.



 The smell was heavenly.



 A plucky yellow osteospermum has decided to flower early.


 as has one of my auriculars


 The wall flowers are coming into their own now 
but I have saved our greatest joy till last
25 tulip bulbs jammed into 1 pot and left to see what happens


 and my word they are off to a good start.


 The clearing and sorting out has started


 every thing is growing away


 By next month we hope to have some semblance of order


 It seems that all the fuchsias have come through and are starting new growth


 Hopefuly we will look like a garden again by my next post.


 I have been amis in not posting what is going on in the front garden, usually it's not much.


 but we do have another early osteospermum


 and the little tulips are looking sweet poking through the polyanthus



Well there tiz then me darlins. Seeds have been sown dahlias and begonias are up and it is full steam ahead into April

Bring it on

Till next time then
