Mr Grinch's Garden

Something gives me the feeling you'd rather be elsewhere.

 

Hurrahh !!!

 

Blimey they're surely not this years are they Mr G

 

Yep loli, been out for a couple of days. Think there "Feb Gold". Still early by at least 3 weeks.

 

Fabulous Mr G

 

Lovely mr grinch
No sign of any daffs either, mine covered in 2" inch of snow at the mo though

 

Today:


Poor early daffs being smothered:


Flower for 2013:
Dahlia - This year i will give up planting tubors out as they rot off. Will start them in pots then plant them out. I love Cactus dahlia's.

I was rotating my soil the other day (not sure if you're meant to during winter?) anyway, one of my Dahlia tubers were hollow.. like something had ate it.

 

Pretty daffodils.

 

Cut off the Helebore leaf's today, the ones with obvious flowers of course. Will leave the others until the flowers show. Ive never done this before and left them but i want to see flowers this year rather than leaf's and sick of the black spot.

Will see what happens.

Sounds like rot.

My Box seems to be VERY slow growing. I know they in general but this summer will be year 2 and im hoping so growth. You would have though the rain we had last year would give them a boost but at this rate im looking at 10 years before i get a decent low hedge.
