February garden

Last Sunday, when I went out to do my weekly emptying of the Compost caddy, ripping open of the teabags from school and to empty CBC's coffee grounds on the roses, I suddenly noticed signs of new life in the garden! Oh, I DO love it when I see the regrowth of plants. The miracle of life emerging from death! Such a joy!


Top left:  Our lovely gardener at school had given up on this Rhubarb plant and indeed, it seemed to have died when I brought it home but it seems to have started growing again! Now, I need to remove the Box bush from the garden and put this in instead- I am sure it would be happier in the ground!

Top right: I really love Rosemary flowers!
Bottom right:  Ahhh, I adore these ebullient miniature Daffodils!
Bottom right:  The Ornamental cherry tree has gone from bare branches to pretty pink blossom!

Left:   FINALLY, a leek which actually reaches PROPER leek size! All the others went to seed but this one stayed lurking in a forbidden bed (aka, the flower bed that CBC forbid me planting vegetables in!)
Top right: I always forget what this plant is! Bergenia???  Pretty and pink
Bottom right:  Rainbow chard: this has been surviving since last Summer but never getting any bigger than this! Not sure why I haven't picked any.

Top:  The Hellebores are looking gorgeous!!!
Bottom right and left:  I think these Hyacinths are either on their way out of in?! I shall keep an eye on them!

What's growing in your garden at the moment??

  1. Mostly weeds. But I do have a patch of wild garlic. My herb bed is starting to look greener. In the front I have some bulbs peeping through. But mostly weeds...

  3. Rhubarb never dies - ours is showing signs of life, too! I'm thrilled to have a few daffs this year, both the tete-a-tete and the full-sized ones - not sure where they came from! x

  4. We've already lost two rhubarb plants courtesy of Phoebe, but we aren't giving up and will try again this year. I think they're quite OK in a large enough pot. Your garden is looking lovely already. Isn't it exciting to discover all that new growth? Ours does need more that just a little TLC right now, but it's been far too wet to do anything. xxx

  5. Excellent use of "ebullient"! :) I love watching the flowers start to come out - we have daffodils blooming now. Thank you for sharing yours, Kezzie!

  6. So nice to see colour returning.
    My garden in shrub heavy and they are staring to show signs of new growth. I saved and potted up some roses from the compost heap - I threw some cuttings in there in the autumn and thought nothing of it. When I realised they'd sprouted I popped them in pots and will keep my finger crossed for them.
    We had a few snowdrops, and the forsythia is springing to life. I really need to get out there and spend some time tackling the weeds and tidying up - I love this, it feels like the spring has arrived!
