…and my blog is suffering! But it’s a good sign – I’m blogging less because I’m spending more time in the garden. I have to – there are seedlings to prick out, beds to mulch, weeds to weed and plants to pot up. And it’s only going to get busier from here on in!
Real Life is also getting in the way of Creative Life, as it sometimes does.
The best way to bring you up to speed is perhaps to post a few photographs of some of the garden jobs I’ve been up to in the past month or so…
I’ve bought and planted half a dozen Anemone blanda to perk up a bare patch of earth under the magnolia in the back gardenI’ve got two plants for my tin-bath pond – a lovely double marsh marigold and a corkscrew rushThe forced rhubarb is about ready to pick!
I briefly considered starting a sycamore farm – these are all the seedlings germinating at the side of the greenhouse… and there are many, many, many more popping up around the raised beds, paths, plant pots, in between paving stones…I’ve started all my dahlias…and *may* have bought some more along the way… #dahliaaddictMost of my seedlings and young plants are progressing well – some of these I’ve already planted out, like the forget-me-nots, wallflowers and gypsophilia.Basically I am loving the fact that Spring has arrived, bulbs are blooming and the sun is occasionally shining – long may it continue!
It’s the age-old battle for a garden blogger – blog vs garden.
I suspect I will be posting monthly for the forseeable, however I do post much more frequently on Instagram and you can follow me there for some micro-blogging action at @mycorneroftheearth.
We have sycamore seedlings popping up all over the garden, too. And they have traveled quite some distance, as the only tree I know about is several hundred metres away – and usually upwind!
I unfortunately have one overhanging the back of the garden, right over my greenhouse and close to the raised beds. I fear this will be an annual issue! 😱😆
