After all that snow and cold today was the first day for weeks and weeks I managed to get out into the garden for a clear up. The sun was out and it felt lovely to feel the warmeth and it was great to be able to see my lawn again. So out with old faithfull again


The blackbirds have been enjoying the apples during the cold weather as you can see


This small flower bed was full of rubish that was first to be done

Then the pergular and all the pots had a good scrub everything was was a lovely shade of green

Next all the garden nick nacs had to be cleaned ready to put back once the flower beds had been cleaned up, Thats tomorrows job.

Everything in the greenhouse is ok and seems to growing still

These are a few pansys which I started months ago.


I bought this for the greenhouse it cost £35 on E Bay.The problem is it smells so much I can not sit in the green house with it on. And I did not realise how exspensive parraffin was, I paid £5 for a gallon .Which I dont mind if it lasts,But it only lasts 2 days and 2 nights.

Brill blog Donnah, your right it was a lovely day can't do to much in garden every thing very wet and soggy, but have no fears in my greenhouse in morning, thinking all that parrifin you pay for you could have bought new plants, well done you've done a good job today :o)))

Wow, you are so organised, Donnah. My garden is still to wet and boggy to attempt anything like a clear up but it definitely needs it. Everything in your greenhouse seems to be doing brilliantly. I have a heater like yours (a present some years ago) but, like you, I find it expensive so haven't used it this year so far, just wrapped everything up and hoped for the best. Your blog may me feel that spring is just around the corner, thank you :)

I found some more casualties this afternoon, but nothing precious, thank goodness. :-)

Donnah..if you have a look in B&Q they sell an addative to put in the parafin to stop it smelling. Its just a little tube but it does 10 gallons of parafin...its produced by parsine...
