Spring is on it way!!

Also three weeks ago my daffodil's and other bubs decided that they have had enough sleep and has started to
slowly come up out of bed.

The Little Green House Activities


I thought all was doing well in my little green house until the other day.  I un-zipped its little doors and peeped inside.  To my horror there was two snails and a slug or was it a snail without a shell? So out they went!

Then I checked all the plants I have in the green house. The Strawberries plants, the lil rose and the Centaurea Montana are doing really well.

But when I checked the Aloe Vera to my shock horror. There was eggs. It could only be those of the snails. Arrggggh!!!
So I re-potted the Aloe Vera and bagged up the soil with the eggs in flatted them too.

The only nice surprise I had in my lil green house was.  My two Goji plants had so far survived winter and have new fresh buds on. :D

Winding Down!

Sometimes I find this time of year a bit sad, :(  with ever think dying back and that.
But I also fine this time of year exciting too. 

Time to tidy up, cut back the Rhododendrons, St John's Wort.  Putting a new cover on my little green house and putting warmth around my plants in there too.
Plus time to plan for the next year, with planting bulbs and sorting out what new things to bring in!

And What a year I have had!
