WHATS LOOKING GOOD IN MARCH

First anemone of the year


primroses



daffodil


celandine


crocus

 

I pulled a load of celandine up as weeds..woops. Does anyone else treat them as a weed?

 

Yes Charlie, to me it's a weed and very difficult to get rid of, I have it growing in my lawn.

 

I think the main reason for my dislike is that the leaves remind me of bindweed!

Lovely Strongy....such a beautiful and delicate colour.

 

That's lovely Strongy. How well do you find Rhodo's and Azalea's do in sandy soil, do you have to give them any particular food etc.?

 

Sheal, they do very well around here as it is sandy and acidic, I haven't added much apart from planting them with ericaceous compost. As you can see the soil is a light grey when dry which shows how poor it is.

 

That's what mine is like Strongy, being coastal. I have one Azalea that is planted in a small area where lawn mowing's were dumped by the previous owner, I dug all that into the soil which is probably why it does quite well, but I'm wary of planting others elsewhere in the garden.

 

More pictures in my thread, so happy to see the garden waking up.


Hurray for the little box hedge starting to look a little bit hedge like!

 

Pleione...............
