It was great today to see many bees on the little Prunus. Thanks Janey, hope your snow showers will be ok in spite of the pesky pigeons. xx

How lovely!

Thankfully there are still quite a few around Janey.
They are very friendly birdies (to us). We are expecting Rufous hummingbirds to arrive any day now (not so friendly as Anna's)

My vision is getting poor Janey.
I think I would get along with Lexie . Not very many younger ladies are into crocheting, there is lots of choice of different activities.

Silver and pink are great partners.

 

Me too. The ones that flower for months are so precious!

 

Thank you Shirley and Janey,

 

Thank you Janey. I have tons of Hellebores as deer ignores them. I will have to stop buying them.

 

Thank you Janey.

Janey, I appreciate your lovely comment.
It is wonderful to see in the fall (autumn) but also a good exercise to rake all the fallen leaves :-)

 

Thank you both ladies.
I am planting now plants deer does not care for (maybe)
We have lots of deer around lately. I do not mind them.
I just have to teach them not to eat several plants from the previous plantings.

 

So happy to have you back Janey! Xx

Thanks Thorneyside. I can’t wait to see what it does this year. The Acers have grown a lot as have a lot of the shrubs. The perennials will have bulked up too. And I have planted a lot more since last summer.

 

Thank you both! Xx

 

Thank you Julia, Thorneyside and Janey for your comments .
We inherited this plant and it is nice to see in early spring against the darkness of the forest.

 

yes go for a feed and weed type. there are ones designed for use at this time of year.

 

Lovely photos Karen. Haven’t visited Exeter for a few years.Winchester is a nice day out, another interesting town, lots to see, nice walk along the river, a lot of walking around,as always! I like St Swithins little old chapel.

 

That’s a pretty corner, Janey.

What a history for such a beautiful maple, it does look ancient. Sheltering your porcelain ladies makes it very special Klahanie. You must have posted photos of it's autumn colours over the years, how spectacular!

 

Someone is keeping your hedge nicely trimmed Klahanie. I do love the open spaces of where you are..

 

Alstromerias are one of my favourite garden flowers as well as lasting well in a vase.

 

I love to see this Klahanie, it's beautiful!

 

Thank you Klahanie, I hope spring is with you over on Vancouver Island too
and the Anna's have come through winter ok..😊

Older than I thought. I looked back at my photos on here and there's a photo of it in 2016 and I'd had it a lot of years already. Time flies!

They do so well in your garden Linda..

Well I would be normally. I'm afraid the wood pigeons have decimated the crown of snow showers even though I've tried everything to keep them off it. Not to worry, there are buds waiting to open at the tips of the branches. Ah well, that's normality now..
Your lawn is looking very smart Sheila!

I hope you had a good birthday Karen and loving your dog enjoying a bit of shade. Your garden looks a credit to all your hard work last year.

 

Looks just like it's name Klahanie. I don't think I've ever seen a white one.

 

They are Jamey, I love them. Thank you … you must be looking forward to your “snow showers” (that might not be quite the right name!). x

Thanks Janey and Rose. The Hyacinths are ones I had indoors in pots and put them outside when they died. They seem to like where I've planted them.

Good to see a white Ribes.

 

Glad to see your photos again Janey. Happy spring.

On blog - Hello everyone!

 

It is indeed a lovely flower! I'd grow them but they wouldn't like our balcony with the sun on it all day from 11am till it goes down! In summer it can get very hot!

A beautiful Heather, FF! :)

 

Thank you Janey and Klahanie xx

 

Wishing you all the best in the upcoming year Karen.

 

It's such an unusual one..

 

Gorgeous colour!
