The Delargo Gardens - January

 Here we me loves with the fist trip to The Gardens of Delargo Towers of 2021

We had the first snow of the winter this month and I rather hope it will be the last of it too.

As it is the new year I have made a list of resolutions that I know very well I shan't keep.

Our Cobaea has flowered right through the month, even during the snow. It has just about given up the ghost now as we slide into February.

Things are looking a little bleak in the main garden.

But everything is still alive

The herbaceous plants are stirring into life and my wine time corner catches what ever Winter sun there is

The big news is that our neighbors have finally replaced their rotten broken down fence which we are very pleased about. 

The back passage is looking lush with lots of bulbs and other goodies waiting in the wings.

We have eventually managed to get the Fuchsias to bed for their beauty sleep.

There still is some colour in the garden and it is very much needed, to boost our spirits.

Well that's it for this month me lovelies. We will wait to see what February has in store for us.
