Enjoying some of the hellebores indoors. Face them upwards in a bowl of water and they’ll last a few days.

A fab range of colour from the hellebores this year. A lot of seedlings coming too 🙏🙏. They are hardy old souls and bring a welcome splash of colour to a very wet garden.

Sweet pea plants are flying. Started some before Christmas (planted each seed in loo rolls) and potted them on this week.

Also trying out some rock will to see how the seeds like it.

Sweet pea give me an endless supply of cut flowers all summer.

A dry day, what a gift. I acquired some sycamore wood chipping. A new pathway in the making. Cardboard down first and then a very generous amount of wood chipping on top. That’s hopefully going to keep weeds at bay and also gives me easy access to the hedge and the back of the bed.

Hellebores season! For me, (similar to snowdrops) the joy is getting down with the plant and looking into its flower.

I cleaned the glass on the outside of the glasshouse on Sunday. The inside needs a wee tidy up before I can get to the inside of the glass panes.

I love this time of year as new growth and colour come back into the garden. I’ve a special grá ♥️ for how white the snowdrop flowers are, shining in the beds so beautifully 🙏🙏🏻🙏🏾

Peony season and how they love the sunshine!

Sprouting broccoli and spinach (I was heavy handed with the seeds!) all flying in the glasshouse.

Hellebore season 🥰🥰🥰
