YELLOW FLOWERS

Those who know me already know that I love the combination of blue and yellow, the blue calms me down, the yellow looks like the sun is shining, even on a rainy day. Today was another rainy day so no work in the garden.

EASTER WEEKEND

We are at the end of the Easter weekend, I love Easter but it was an early Easter this year so the weather was not good enough to do some work in the garden. I did some sowing in the greenhouse and the strawberry plants I replanted in the greenhouse a few weeks ago (I kept them in a pot last year) are now growing nicely and they are getting flowers !!

Remember my begonia Muddy Waters who started to bloom in December ?

Finally they are in full bloom, I have been waiting for it for so long now as they have been in bud a long time this year.

It is such a beautiful day with the sun, the blue sky and the warmth.

The buds of my syringa  ( vulgaris “Beauty of Moscow”) against the blue sky, I love it ! But they still have a long way to go before they are in full bloom, I hope I will have many blooms this year. I always cut them all for inside as I looooove the smell !

Have a great weekend all and thanks for visiting.

THERE IS HOPE AFTER ALL !!

Finally we are getting some real Spring weather , in between the rain, but when the  sun  is out : what a feeling , it is warm enough to sit outside for a while !!!

The crocusses in my front yard are so beautiful at the moment and when the sun is out they are buzzing cos of the the bees who seem to love them !

Narcis February Gold in my garden, taken a few years ago.

Alas I can’t sent you recent photo’s yet ! We just had a cold spell with snow and ice and severe frost, yesterday the weather changed and the snow melted, today my garden looks horrible and I am holding my heart cos I fear for some of my plants and bushes.

Today was soft and sunny so I did some work in the greenhouse, the soil in the garden is still hard. I am so looking forward to working in the garden again and see everything growing and flowering.

Have a great week all and I hope you can feel Spring is round the corner !!!

We once visited a garden with lots of dahlia’s, this one was one of the largest they had on show. You can see it was bigger than my hand.

Have a great weekend my friends !

WHAT DO YOU PREFER ?

What do you prefer, pictures in black&white or colour ?

As we live in a rather grey country I’d prefer colour anytime, colour is very important to me. How about you ?

Have a great week and thanks for your visit !
