March

 February has been and gone and we are over half way through March.

We have had very cold nights and some days well below freezing but warmth in sight.

Very little rain in the last 6 weeks so the clay soil which got very wet earlier in the winter, has now dried enough to make it easier to weed.

Very happy to say the garden is looking good for March, by tackling the weeds early we will hopefully have an easier time as the months progress and weeds will not be too established.

The Berm is looking lovely at the moment, and more new bulbs will appear over the coming months.

The snowdrops have finally gone over now. I always deadhead the special ones to keep the variety true. This will prevent seeding  if they have been cross pollinated. I am not able to identify all the minute differences that make up each one.

Coming up now are daffodils, trillium and lots of buds on the trees and bushes, just starting to burst open.
