more digging and more plants

well done on your blog San, you have some nice plants there.

love your new plants......and nice to see everything coming up again... its been lovely here but cold winds i hav ebeen pottering about but like you its to early to cut a lot of things back... repotted my new curly hazel today.....

thanx yorkshire glad you like them :o)
thankyou to holly its great seeing things come back yes, glad you got your hazel potted up, was going to pot my palm but once in new pot i cant move it into garage at night, to heavy, so will wait i think, unless i wrap it up to protect it but them i cant see it anyway lol

Great new plants San. Lovely to see the garden waking up for spring . I have been out in the garden for about half an hour it was just too cold made my nose run too much (what a wimp!) so I came in and sat looking out with a mug of tea and a new gardening magazine then I made a cake.glad you had a nice day :0)

thanx sue, it wasnt cold here in the sun so you must be a bit colder there today, a cuppa and gardening mag sounds great though :o))

Well done San.lots of nice new plants there , I've been to the GC as well today , i've only unloaded a while ago , I might get some photos done tomorrow .. :o)

I love all your new plants, amazed at how much new growth on the Aquilegia, much further on than mine. : o )

thanx amy i could resists as the price was very good, do you think they will be ok in these small pots till next month or shall i repot them ;o)
thanx megan i was surprised at new growth cause in the shady part of garden close to house no sunshine at all there till summer,

You have done well Sandra, but while all of you have been busy in garden today, i've been busy taking carpet up in small bedroom, having new one fitted tomorrow.

thanx carol. its been lovely and sunny, are you doing the room up or just need new carpet

Lots of bargains there Sandra , I have often wondered why most plants have names that I can't seem to get my mouth round or spell! lol
Your Poppy is very much like mine in development are'nt they hardy saying they look so exotic, your Acquilegia is much further on than mine I can only just recognise it, I you could repot your new plants if they look over crowded but bring them indoors like you are doing till the frost as gone;0)

thanx carole i now have 12 differant plants for £10 so im pleased, yes just brought plants into garage for the night, i love the poppy dont you carole, like you say wouldnt think it would be so hardy,i never remember names, just keep tags its easier lol :o)

some nice bargains there. I too have lots of plants waiting to go into the garden, if i ever get it ready.

You`ve got some lovely plants there Sandra. Like you my memory for plant names is dreadful which isn`t good when you work for a garden centre! :o(

More bargains San, well done, I`m like everyone and waiting for the grand opening of your new area. The plants in your garden are miles in front of mine as regards new growth..........

you and me both then sea,,, :o)
lol sandra yes can understand that, mind you if all are like me that come in you no need worry :o)
thanx sue it seems like ages ago since i started, good job your not all holding your breath lol, im surprised so much growth to sue with such bad winter :o)

I'm sure they will be alright in those pots for a little while longer San.. .. .. you can always tip them out and look to see how potbound the roots are , if they are very potbound well then repot , but I would leave well alone so long as they look healthy .... :o)

thanx amy will do :o))

Smashing selection San, they look really healthy too.....yep my plants are still sleeping mainly...and I've so many large gaps now...:o( Going to concentrate on grasses this year.......looking forward to seeing the new garden soon...:o)

I'd agree with Amy on the repotting, Sandra - you'll be planting them before they root properly in new pots. You did well there! :-))

thanx janey, i like grasses to , been looking at some, so many differant ones to choose from, look forward to seeing what you get :o))
thanx barbara i will leave them then, wont be to long before things start to come together i hope :o)

I've been planting for a couple of weeks - tomorrow, I'm hoping to get my Crocosmia corms in.

its still very cold here barabra and especially last few nights, -6 some nights so ive been putting mine away and out in the daytime sun, nice being able to do something isnt it :o))

Yes - I can't NOT!! I just wrap up warm and get out there.
