Plans for Spring

Thanks Julia. This Tamarix was a small tree when we came here, but over the years it dominated this part of the garden. I can keep it controlled myself now.
What about your tulips from last spring? Have you managed to plant them again? I was so disappointed to see mine.

A lovely mix x

I know Monty says that they're only meant for one season these days Julia, isn't it a shame though.

Hello Stripes, thank you so much.

Lovely to see your plans for the Spring, Janey. Those peachy Narcissus look positively yummy! x

That's understandable Julia. I can't say that everything I've had from SR has comes up trumps. The Lemon basil I grew from her seeds was very slow growing, and didn't taste of anything. I wondered if they were the wrong seeds in the packet.

They do look lovely Sheila, fingers crossed..x

I will look forward to seeing all the lovely colour you will have in the garden next Spring Janey.
I too love the blue pansies!
I haven't even thought about bulbs as the main borders have so much gravel on now because of that b...fox that couldn't get in there to plant bulbs.

I like the lily-flowered tulips, they always look elegant. We, too, gave up on ordering bulbs from expensive suppliers, because I resented the cost once they were discarded at the end of the season. The only large tulips that ever returned reliably were the Apeldorns, and they're not everyone's cup of tea. Your garden looks very neat!

Lovely purchases. Janey. The Dancing Doll variety is really pretty, love the rich, jewel colours. You're garden always looks wonderful, it'll look even more so come Spring.

You have chosen well with the Tulip bulbs ... they will look fabulous in the Spring.

A lovely selection Janey, you can look forward to a colourful spring now :)

Thanks Rose..:)) I can imagine it made a mess, and this time of year they're wanting roots and digging for worms?
At least with the gravel, things will be mulched for the winter won't they. A hard job laying gravel, I hope you had some help!

They are a disappointment Ange, especially ones you really liked, like the last Dancing Dolls I had. I remember Monty saying they would only last the one season now. I must admit I like all tulips Ange, and had Apeldorns, lovely strong ones.
My garden is just like it was, still summer plants flowering a little bit. I must clip back the Nepeta though there are flowers for the bees still.

Aw thanks Kate..:)

Thank you Shirley, Klahanie and Hywel I think they'll brighten the garden next year. We've
all the winter to get through first, haven't we..:(
Thinking of all your snows where you are Klahanie..

No help Janey, just little old me!
One of these days I will come and look at your garden!
Maybe in the spring when your bulbs are out.

A beautiful selection of bulbs you have bought, Janey! It's a shame about the tulips breaking up into 100s & 1,000s! The same happens here on the balcony so I rarely buy them any longer!

That Daffodil, Renegade, I grew on the balcony a few years ago & I was very pleased with it. Now it lives in the church gardens where it comes up every year now!

Love your choices of tulips. They will be beautiful in the spring.

Goodness Rose, well done you! I remember laying gravel in Spain, a hard job, but I was over 20 years younger.
Yes, we must make definite arrangements..:) x

Yes it is Balc, especially if you'd kept them as you're supposed to.I think they're grown now for one season, they'd all go out of business if we only wanted them every 10 years..:)
That's good to know Balc, and you can see yours every spring. It is a really pretty one.

Thanks Wildrose, they'll be a real treat..

It’s going to be a floriferous Spring by the look of it….

I hope so Dd. How is your garden doing these day's? Have you posted some photos?
