    Hi all have not been around for a while so I guess you may have forgotten me :D
    My M I L has been very poorly for a while and she passed away on 1st of January, so thats why I have not been in.
    I cant believe how my plants are behaving this year, undoubtabley cos of the hot summer. I bought some bulbs and planted these in early October and this has been in flower for a while

    Welcome back, Maggie! Sorry to hear your bad news - and hope being back in the gang here, and gradually getting back out into the garden will help.

    It's lovely to see the daffs! I have lots of paperwhites in bloom, but they got blown over in the gales on Hogmanay, so I brought them in to put in vases, and they look lovely! (And smell good too!) Lots of other bulbs have shoots coming up - lovely!

    Have just returned from walking in the Great Park at Windsor. The daffodils on the roundabout are well and truly out in numbers - not at their finest yet but who would be with the weather we have had.
    Sorry to hear about your sad loss Chips Good Wishes for a better New Year

    Tete a tetes are miniature daffodils that bloom early in January. I buy them in pots at 99p per pot from M&S. They are intended for indoors, but I plant them out and have acquired loads over several years. They come up every year and bloom right through February too.

    My daffs aren't out yet, neither are the fields of them behind my house!!!!! Won't be long though!! They normally herald bad weather when they do flower - it normally blows a gale and batters them all to bits :rolleyes: Such a shame!!
    Welcome back Chips, sorry to hear your bad news :(
