These are very beautiful Shirley . I like Hellebores in early spring for that reason. They are tough.

I've got tomato seeds to sow too, I don't know if I've left it too late but we'll see.
Good luck ! I hope you get plenty of tomatoes on yours :)

I do the same thing Karen. Our property is very shady this time of the year so I buy lots of spring blooming plants and put it on the table outside that I can see it from our dining room. I enjoy doing so.
I like the plant arrangement on your table.

I'm now making another Fuchsia standard, this time with 'Beacon', a variety I made 3 standards of many years ago & that were killed during the winter of 2009-10.

Thanks, Shirley! Most years I have a few Hyacinths flowering on the balcony together with many other spring bulbs.

To be truthful it's a bud that has developed very, very slowly all winter. I accidentally broke off a bud while moving it around in the mini-greenhouse where it has spent the winter. :(

Yesterday I noticed 100s of greenflies on the leaves which I immediately squashed!

Thank you Linda and Sheila.
I am pulling out hundreds of seedlings from everywhere every year. I do not keep them.
The little fairy door just showing my silliness .
I have several porcelain ladies living in the bigleaf maple.
They all have a name. That happened long time ago but they still exist.

Sheila, it's one of those shrubs that is a bit 'Marmite'! I saw some standard Photinias the other day, very strange sight!

Thank you Rose. Sometimes it’s indoors, sometimes out! It has no drainage holes, so usually it’s inside. I keep having to tip this arrangement up. But lately it hasn’t rained much.

We have inherited a hedge of this, right across the front of our front garden. I wasn’t sure at first but now I really like it!
