First day of Spring!

First day of spring and a partial solar eclipse to boot

How's your garden looking? What's growing, what's not? I must admit I've not done much so far, but this weekend, which is meant to be dry, I will be out there potting stuff up. Got to be careful though, we had a frost yesterday morning so there's stuff I can't put out yet.

 

Yep it's the Spring Equinox today! Hope everyone has a good one!

My spring bulbs are doing well. The daffs look very cheery. The crocus flowers did go droopy in the rain though. My little Kojo no mai is in blossom, the Erica is adding a nice pink touch and the Aubretia has lots of buds. There are lots of seedlings in doors on the go too. All in all I'm looking forward to warmer weather and getting the plants outside!

 

Does this mean I can de-fleece my tree fern and other bits I have wrapped up?

 

its great people know so many these days think 1st of march is spring a lot due to the media looking forward to the eclipse

 

I always know its the first day of spring because its a family members birthday

Bonus is my camellia has full opened maybe it was waiting for today

 

Mow lawn, prune a few things ,get patio furniture out, clean patio, clean GH . Seems like hard work is here again !

 

I wouldn't just yet!!

I wouldn't do this just yet either but I love your optimism!!

 

Feels like it's turned back to Winter here this morning...Brrrrr but if it says it's Spring that'll do for me

 

I have decided to wait a while. We are forecast to get some chilly nights next week.

 

Lovely day here now , hacked down the back lawn . Pruned the Buddleia , fuschia and a clematis I had missed . Filled a few Molly holes in the lawn , Molly dug them back up again !

 

We always keep a couple of garden chairs out though the winter...as it is so lovely to sit, talk, and plan, even in the depths of winter.

 

Just been planting some more seeds in my conservatory. I don't know if the weather will be good enough by the time I need to plant them out but I am going to risk it and hope we get a long early good spring/summer.

Tomorrow is going to be sunny here so I am going to spend almost all the day in the garden and clearing it all up

 

Last night I de-fleeced my tree fern and Butia.
Will do the other bits and pieces (a few seedling palms) on the weekend.
