WORDLESS WEDNESDAY
TODAY IN THE GARDEN
Spring is cold, too cold for the time of the year with night frosts, rain, snow, sleet, wind….. but it is definitely Spring according to my plants cos once in a while we get lovely sunny and soft days too.
Look what I found in the garden today.
Apple blossom buds and lots of them. I really hope I’ll get apples this year. Last year I had one apple tree with not a single flower and the other one had just 3 buds but I gave them a lot of food last year so now I have lots of buds. Keep your fingers crossed ! I’ll let you know in Autumn ok.
IN BLOOM TODAY
These blue hyacinths are in bloom today in my garden. I couldn’t resist putting one in a yellow vase, I love the combination blue and yellow. I just took one flower as they bloom much longer in the garden than in a vase.
After I took this photo I put it in my livingroom on the coffee table, my whole house smell’s like Spring now !
Have a great weekend all !!
A BIT OF SPRING TODAY
We have a bit of Spring today, tomorrow will be Winter again ha ! But today is sunny and not too cold, when I have a walk in my garden with the dogs I hear a lot of buzzing from bees and bumble bees, I love that sound !! There are a lot of birds looking for nest material. The days are getting longer and I can smell it in the air. We are sure headding in the right direction.
When the flowers are open the whole shrub is buzzing, the buds appear in Autumn and soon the buds will open up. Very easy small shrub. Wintergreen and winter hardy, a gem in the garden. There are males and females, so if you want berries you need one of each.
Have a great week all !
PICTURE OF THE DAY
Have a great day !
STILL FLOWERING TODAY
It is November and there are still flowers in the garden, even after a few night frosts. But most of the garden looks tatty. It is Autumn ofcourse !
At the moment we have beautiful sunny soft days and frosty nights. As soon as the sun goes down it is cold. We are in a second full lockdown at the moment.
I hope you are all well and happy. Keep safe.
THE GREENS ARE TAKING OVER NOW
Now that most of my flowers are burned, rotting or were blown away by the storm, I still enjoy the green leafs, some are even young and fresh cos of the rains we had a few weeks ago. Alas we don’t have all the Autumn colors you have in the US. Some shrubs give a nice red or yellow colour but most leafs go from green to brown.
All the wintergreens are good for the birds and other wildlife, they can hide in them for the rain and the cold, they sleep in them, they are covered in bugs so they have food as well close by.
I love my flowers but I love my greens as well.
Have a great week and stay safe. Thanks for visiting.
GOODBYE SUMMER
Summer was odd weatherwise. We had cool, we had hot and very hot. Bone dry but torrential rain once in a while but my garden is looking tatty. A few flowers are still standing but a lot has been scorched by the sun. Today is the last day of Summer weather, as of tomorrow it will gradually cool down and for the next 2 weeks we’ll get lots of rain.
The groundwater here is historically low, rainy weather is not fun but we need it, every single drop. Our local flora is dying cos they can’t stand the drought.
I hope you are all ok. Keep safe and take care !
