Our gardener came
yesterday. I ventured out with a mug of tea for her & sat & chatted for
a bit. It was lovely to see some of the spring bulbs are budding up. Here are
the beginning of white snowdrops buds, there some golden crocus buds. The
hellebores are out, some pink, some white. Life is definitely beginning to
burgeon. We both worry it may be a bit too early as the worst of winter has yet
to come.
What really bemuses
us is that the lobelia is still in flower in the walled garden. Admittedly that
garden is more sheltered than most of the garden, but even so.
We’re re-designing
the front garden. It’s no longer going to be the herb garden. The essential
culinary herbs have moved to the back, near the house. At the moment only the
bay tree remains in the front. That is too big to contemplate safely moving to the
back so I will have to continue to venture out the front when I need a bay
leaf. I’m looking forward to getting something more planted in the front. We
appreciate the privacy afforded by a few shrubs & other plants. At the
moment we still feel a bit exposed. Our gardener as drawn up a list of
suggestions only she keeps forgetting to bring the list with her. Hopefully she
will remember soon.
