Well its that time..

For me, it's I the seed swap season in February with a local charity, and 'potato day' run by the local Organic Gardening Group (although I get someone else to get the potatoes after I choose them out of a 3 page list.
The mad sowings of Feb.. And the chitting of spuds! And I need to replace my old mini greenhouse..

Watching the bulbs come up (I've managed to save and replant the same bulbs for about 3 years now) I'm enjoying the Thrive newsletter as well.

And then the following months of excess seedlings, leading up to plant sales in May.. Will it be a wet year, a dry year? A windy year..

The picture below was the front garden in 2017.. It's now a lush garden with a selection of mini buddlia, wider borders, made using No Dig methods, large planters, and potted blueberries, a rhubarb, plant and mini fruit trees.
Near the house is a corner bed with a collection of Hellebores that add spring colour every year..

One thing I do need to do is get the mulching done, or get someone to help me. Depending on energy levels.. And the pruning of the Buddlias for this year, which is anytime between Feb & April..

In the image, apart from the rather dull lawn. Is the narrow border with the oriental lilies, and one Bocking 14 comfy plant.
