    Some of the plants we're gathering together for this month's trip to the charity garden centre - they train people with learning difficulties in crafts and gardening

    Some Sisyrinchium for them to split

    They sell quite a lot of succulents as their pottery section make some nice pots for them. Our succulents tend to grow like mad so we give them some every month

        Thanks, it's a big garden so there is always something that is blooming, or trying to. It takes a lot of work though and gets harder every year :old: :doh:

        Yesterday I spotted a few snowdrops just poking up through the soil.

              A surprise here today. I got some Oxalis triangularis corms from Bulgaria in August which started off slowly as I have them planted out in front of the house where we sit. But today ...

                        I've just been out to check on them - most of the snow has melted off of them but they will be just mush tomorrow! :sad: They've done extraordinarily well to survive at least 3 nights with temps down to -2C & 1 night down to -4C! Unfortunately they won't survive any longer! (If they do I'll save the seed from next year's flowers to sell them to T&M & make a fortune on royalties! :roflol:).

                            Has the icy weather affected that @Logan ? I'm thinking of getting one in the spring.
