The Move

On the 11th of March I (and like other's) woke up to find snow!  But trust me it was not going to stop me from doing what I had planned to do in the garden.

A few week's ago I decided to get rid of my old lil greenhouse as it was falling apart.  I can honestly say 'I did try to save it'.  So My brother took it to the recycling part of the local tip.  I made sure he took it to the right place..... 

So with the old greenhouse out of the way, I had a lil bit more space to move things around!

I have to say I have not moved to much.  But just moved over the Yellow Cape Fuchsia phygelius aequalis, hydrangea and Rhododendron round.  Just so there is air and light getting into were it need to be! 

with a little bit of spring - daff's!

I am also trying to re-design some area's too! Not sure how it will turn out........ Only time will tell!

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

Putting them to bed!!

About a month ago the flower's died back on my Daffodil's and 
I decide to get them ready for bed.  
Just like the way I've been told my grand-dad use too do.
