What joy it was to return to the garden and discover these beauties lying in wait….the reward of all that work at the beginning of autumn!
Already my head is well out of the clouds, our first events of the coming season approach, and the thrilling build-up to Open Garden has begun.
While the wind may howl and the temperatures have me reaching for more logs for the fire, there is a stirring out there….a stray blossom, a bunch of jonquils, and just a little new feathery growth on the odd perennial. Kitchen Garden aside, I think a weekend of dishing out fertiliser and barrowing compost lies ahead.
Something tells me we’re on the slippery slope to spring!
