What are we doing in the garden 2024

Just spent a peaceful hour cutting down brambles on my slope, using my new long-handled pruners to reach them. Spotted my first snowdrop emerging!

 

Just had a bonfire, a rare occasion when nobody hanging out washing and it was dry.

 

After the strong winds yesterday l did a bit of clearing up this afternoon. I cut back all the Hakonechloa alongside my steps as they had reached the shedding stage and become a threat to the tidiness of my borders and paving . I removed some more fallen leaves, gave the birdbath a clean and refill and I also watered the tree fern’s trunk and crown. There are already signs of new fronds forming .

 

This afternoon I planted 50 Tête à Tête daffodil bulbs and cleared a lot of dead leaves and birch brash from the paths.
