Mr Grinch's Garden

Bah, do not like pancakes.
Garden a no go.
Still, plans are a foot. Will move the little wall to encompass the shingle area, equals it all out. I'll then fill the whole area with play bark, make a little raised bed for the kids to grow some veg. Im then going to get some chooks in a run, my girls want them and to be honest, i miss them. We should still have room for a trampoline.
Eventually the walk way to the back will have a pergola walk way, but thats a long way off.

I thought you had paths.

 

A path doesn’t make a garden especially with ice on it to make it treacherous.
Borders, wet sticky and cold, grass squelchy and sodden.
March is but a few weeks away, hurrah !

 

Yes, very horrible.

 

Valentine's Day bought me a gift from the wife. Two tickets to "An Evening with Monty Don" on the 22nd Feb in Guildford. A charity black tie event. Really pleased to get to meet the Don. Tickets still available by the way

Actually felt warm today !!
Cold back for next week !!

 

What a glorious morning. The sun was out, very chilly but in a sheltered spot it was positively pleasant. I even planted some Daffs that were potted up in September. They were spare and i have an area with none so in they went. First planting of the year

Indeed. Plan in March is to take out all the plants in that top corner then re-plant with additions. Smallest at front, largest at back etc.. Looking forward to it.

Well, another lovely day in the sun. Crisp but pleasant. Did some gardening but alas not in my garden. I tidied my dads roses up that have been neglected for years. Cut out dead wood and pruned back to what is a better shape. Very enjoyable.

Cant beleive it. Another lovely day. Spent the afternoon pruning some roses, Viburnam and Tree Peony. Move the Rhodo in the tub, just didnt look right. Very nice day.

Rhododendrons never look right. Horrible, smelly plants.

Are you working on your tan already?
