Here we are again me dears, back in the garden in what has turned out to be a very chilly and damp February. Having said that the Primulas and polyanthus have started to strut their stuff despite of the weather.
As colourful as they are the true star of the garden this month is still Sarcococca with it's heady glorious sent and is a gawd send for the early bees.
and the Cyclamen are still a constant joy too.
There we are then me darlins short and sweet (just like me). I hope you’ve got your thermals on; tiz time to climb up into the Land Rovers and tour our vast estate.
It has been a bad year for Pansies and Violas. They are very hardy but do not flower when it gets too cold and it has been constantly too cold.
On a more jolly note the crocus are in flower but need some warmth and sunshine to open fully
We even have an early flowering Ipheion to keep them company.
With St Davids fast approaching I was concerned that our Daffodils would not be open in time for the 1st of March. I need not have worried, right at the last minute they did their duty !
bless um' and Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus for the 1st of March from Donny and me self.
Till then it's
Ttfn from Donny

February's always the very worst month for the garden. Thank heavens we managed to have a clutch of "little beauties" to cheer us through those dank few weeks. Hurrah for Spring, I say! Things can only get better from this point on - and Saint David agrees! Jx
ReplyDeleteAny flower in the garden in February is a joy - roll on Spring.
DeleteThey say that; 'March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb'
This year March has come in like a lamb but fingers crossed as we are not out of danger yet.
That iphion is breaking my heart! What a beauty!
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed a joy and that is just one random flower. It should have a mass of little flowers this month (March)
DeleteTtfn.
What a delight! You really know how to maximize your space! I am somewhat jealous of small gardens, if you can believe that. I'm busy over here fighting off deer, rabbits, coyotes and the occasional bear. Coyotes pee on everything the deer and rabbits don't eat to mark their territory. The young bucks are the worst, destroying my saplings with all their antler rubbing. Your garden beauties in February are a breath of fresh air! The daffodils haven't bloomed yet here, but I saw my first crocus yesterday!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh the horror of it. The worst we have is demented Grey Squirrels and vile urban foxes. Wild life is best watched on the BBC with Sir David Attenborough narrating it. Not rampaging through your garden.
DeleteJawohl, schöne Blumen.
ReplyDeleteDonny wird im Frühling sehr glücklich sein :)
(vvs)
Schön, dich wieder im Garten zu sehen, meine Liebe.
DeleteActually Donny has been being a bit lazy lately maybe he needs a little rest before Spring starts in earnest.
Hey, sweetpea! This year I'm going try more container gardening like y'all! The MITM will continue to deal with the inground stuff, so I'll try some littlepots for color! xoxo
ReplyDeleteHello me dear, lovely to see you in the garden.
DeletePots are very useful in any garden because you can move them around easily so it's almost like flower arranging.
Now that we are into April things have moved on massively and I am about to post the March garden if you fancy a look.
Ttfn.
