Six on Saturday, 28.11.20

Days of glorious sunshine and hard frosts at night (down to about -2 at the beginning of the week) have seen us in the garden every afternoon. The BV is still not working since March this year, but he’s beavering away to make garden life nicer, so my first of six is about his current … Continue reading Six on Saturday, 28.11.20

A Week of Flowers, Day 7

Joining in with Cathy at ‘Words & Herbs’ for our final montage of the flowers that have cheered us through this traumatic year of 2020. My first is a kind of obituary for Rose ‘Canary Bird’, which looked like this in spring. I noticed when I returned home after 3 weeks away in September that … Continue reading A Week of Flowers, Day 7

A Week of Flowers, Day 6

On reflection, I decided to stay with the season. The nights have been so cold here … … with amazing frosts every morning. However the days are superbly sunny and the colours much appreciated. I feel we are due for an uplift in December … things don’t feel quite so bad as they did just … Continue reading A Week of Flowers, Day 6

It seems to be us that’s the problem … I’m joining in with Cathy at ‘Words & Herbs’ again and this time it’s a little more seasonal. However I’m … Continue reading A Week of Flowers, Day 5

A Week of Flowers, Day 4

I made a rather startling discovery last night – in the course of a computer glitch in September I seem to have lost quite a lot of photographs that I took earlier in the year. That’s a ‘Western’ kind of ‘problem’, isn’t it? However – I’ve just received a cheering message from a friend wishing … Continue reading A Week of Flowers, Day 4

A Week of Flowers, Day 3

Joining in with Cathy at ‘Words & Herbs’ again to try and spread a little cheer in a tumultuous November. Here we have warm, sunny, late autumn days and quite harsh frosts at night. Time in the garden during the second wave of the coronavirus does the soul good when the world is such a … Continue reading A Week of Flowers, Day 3

A Week of Flowers, Day 1

Cathy, a gardener in Bavaria who blogs at Words & Herbs, suggested that each day for one week we post pictures of flowers that have made us happy during this year. We all need a little lift at the moment, she’s so right. Here’s my contribution, looking back to May in the garden, with alliums, … Continue reading A Week of Flowers, Day 1

Six on Saturday 21.11.20

As I get older, I find that I’m not so excited to go rushing about on our 96 steps in the autumn to bring tender plants into the house. And so I’m chancing my luck, more and more. The dahlias are usually my signal that it’s time to act if there are things that definitely … Continue reading Six on Saturday 21.11.20
