Di, our new
gardener, is coming again today. Her effort last week still remains relatively
weed-free. Hopefully she’s going to have got the garden tidied up before the
spring arrives with its full vigour.
Meanwhile I’m being
struck by the snowdrops & crocuses appearing in the front garden. I’m
tempted to thin them out & plant the extra bulbs in one of the raised beds
near the house. I can’t help thinking a little bit of spring colour so near
would cheer us up at this time of year. In that bed at the moment is only some
rosemary, sage, mint & a magnolia tree. Although the sage & rosemary
give some all year round green, the idea of an early bit of white, gold &
purple appeals. They would reassure us spring is on its way no matter how far
off it seems as the cold & wet continues.
Some crocuses & snowdrops,
though, would have to remain in the front garden as I still want to be cheered
whenever we go out, or I sit in the lounge window looking up from my jigsaws.
