Fresh Beginnings

 


Spring has sprung.





Despite the recent storms, the garden has survived pretty well. I've moved the bird feeder to its new place beside the Arbour Seat. The Arbour took another tumble against the fence, so the Carpenter who is installing the new raised bed and trellis is going to anchor it firmly for me.










The birdhouse has also been moved, and pegged down. It ended up across the garden twice in the storms and lost both its rabbit topping and the ceramic bird from the feeder tray. 










The crocus are coming along nicely. I had thought that the squirrels had been digging them up, but it looks as though they were burying the monkey nuts. 










Lots of white crocus, but no sign of the other colours yet.












Some plants have continued to thrive through the winter. 

This Santolina has grown and looks as though it will provide some flowers this season.













The Physic Garden is looking particularly healthy, with miniature daffodils and snowdrops.












In the main border, the common scabious has been flowering throughout the winter. 


Beside it, the miniature daffodils look very fragile and pretty.







The Carpenter is coming back in April, to build a large raised bed along the back of the shed. I hope the Camelia and a new Jasmine will be happier there.
