Beautiful sunny day in the garden

Stunning, hope the weather is not as bad as predicted.I have to look up to a lot of mine now the seasons have changed in the garden.Daffs are all gone but still the hellebores keep going.

Oh dear, I hope they all survive the snow!

Oh crikey....hope it doesnt snow!

It is so strange. It was 20 degrees here today and they talk about snow in the mountains tomorrow. What a climate!

Yes, a really bad forecast for the next few days.
Your garden is certainly looking beautiful in the sun today.
I feel I may need to do something to improve the drainage of our lawn. Are you digging a trench and then filling with hardcore/gravel?

The weather has continued to be beautiful blue skies in Glasgow.......cooler but not freezing.
We have dug a large, long trench and have a drainage pipe and hardcore and gravel. It it just one long strip that is a problem because of clay. Horrible red,sticky stuff. I hope to buy some turf to finish it off. Two or three lengths would do it. We have talked about doing this for years. :0)

Good luck.....yes,I may end up having to try that myself at the lowest point, by the house.
Where is your drainage pipe going to, into a soak away?

Yes. One end is pretty dry so we are digging a larger soak away there. We intend to lay a pipe at an angle. Barry is going to drill holes in the plastic pipe. We got ten burst bags of gravel at B&Q for 50p each and we have a lot of old broken bricks we intend to reduce to rubble.
Hard work!

Hard work, but should be worth it in the end! Where does everyone live that finds bargains at B & Q? Having read a blog on some bargain plants, while I was that way I popped into B & Q just to look - but it was the same 75% dead plants for sale. Who wants to pay £1 for a poor geranium/pelargonium with dead leaves and a not healthy stem. Other offers were a tray of plants reduced by 60p with two missing and bad wind/frost damage!
The garden looks lovely, really full of greenery, not like mine still waiting for the perennials to fill the gaps, meanwhile the weeds take full advantage of the space!

I agree Honeysuckle....who needs poor looking plants? My garden is always weeks behind here in Scotland. The bulbs look great and there is life beginning to appear in the flower beds. It has tried to snow here today, but I think the rest of the week has to improve.
What us poor gardeners have to put up with, eh!

It looks lovely. Hope it warms up soon!

Next week looks good! :0)
