It was too cold for gardening, which led to a working day sitting by the fire and drinking coffee. I spent my time visualising each garden in my care, making notes of everything I would like to achieve for my clients. New borders, large-scale sculptural willow projects, renovation projects, new vegetable and soft fruit beds, to name but a few. I read through mounds of seed catalogues and horticultural journals, noting must have plants and seeds. I like productive days, this definitely was one.
This image is from Geoff’s garden on Tuesday. Snowdrops emerging through a leaf mulch. I loved the way the bulb tips had pierced the foliage.
Birds land by the stem and branch full at home, bringing my garden to life . From my lounge window, on a wet or frozen day, or any other day come to think of it, it is a truly great space to look out onto, and take winter images.
I will continue mulching from the edges whilst standing on boards and finish all necessary deciduous winter pruning; as long as it is niether below freezing, or chucking down.
Happy new year, and when the weather is right for you happy gardening .

Thanks Lou, spelling noted. There are literally thousands of snowdrops coming up at Geoffs. Sal x

I love the photo of the snowdrops. If you were the Daily Mail you could use this photo again for both crocus and daffodils at the appropriate time by simply changing the flower name.
Fortunately, after years of practise I can read you writing but others might take that note as a scrip from your local GP 🙂 I’ll have plenty of questions come April when my snow has melted (fingers crossed).

But Jon, it is a different leaf structure for crocus and daffodils… I quite like my handwriting, its taken years to be this illegible. Sal x
