January gardening

10 comments


I have just spent a pleasant few hour’s in the garden.It was cool and overcast but still nice enough to potter. I prepared a bed for some late mixed bulb planting( tulip’s crocus and narcissi 90 in total).My son then did the digging and planting for me, I scattered a spice mix and put a bit of trellis flat on the top , just till they get established hopefully that will deter any thing from digging there. After a tea break I did a general tidy up and staked and straightened a few thing’s all in all thoroughly enjoyable time, it is great to get your hand’s back in the soil :-))

I'm envious of your time in the garden, Mavis. I am raring to go but too damp yet here in spite of the mild weather. I must admit I wondered what spices you were growing for a moment - then realised what you were doing :)

Sanbaz, it was great to have Christopher home more so as I was not expecting him it made Christmas for us all, his brother's knew he was coming but kept it as a suprise for me. Like Joe ,he is now back at Aberdeen.It was quite mild yesterday and I wrapped up warm today is windy wet and cold though.Gee19 sorry to confuse you the soil was so nice I knew it would be a magnet for cat's my Ollie being the worst offender spice's usually work though.Thank's everyone for your nice comment's I will take some photo,s when the bulb's come through :-)) ☼ ☼
