A frosty morn'
I love frosty gardens - they are so magical and uplifting - full of drama and suspense! An icing of frost reveals the amazing textures, details and shapes of plants and materials around the garden that can otherwise go un-noticed. This morning Jack Frost worked wonders on our garden.
The Zing of Spring
There's nothing like a bit of zing in the garden to get you going! A fabulous verdant glow has taken over the garden in the last few months as the shoots of bulbs and perennials emerge from their dormant state.
The bulbs have put on a tremendous show despite being submitted on a nearly weekly basis to hail, sleet, snow and widely fluctuating temperatures. I'm convinced that they have all benefited from the snug thick mulch of leaf mould that we laid over the entire garden early on in the year.
