I do have some flowers!
Our snowdrops have been blooming since January. I’m very pleased with how just a few bulbs planted years ago keep spreading. We had -4C temps recently, and I was sad to see all the ‘drops were flat on the ground. Tough little plants, they perked back up in two days and a week later still look this good!
The daffodils and narcissus did the same flattening and same perking up, but they aren’t blooming yet.
My crocus. Eventually I plan to have that whole awkward patch of grass filled with them. I’m a little worried about how much moss is in there, though! Any tips on removing or killing moss without killing bulbs?
My gerbera daisies. I keep them indoors, but they were in four shallow pots and several years old. I repurposed a tall container, put holes in the bottom and some rocks for drainage, and used an identical container as a water dish. They now take up less windowsill room and have so much more space to grow. Four plants turned out to be nine, as well – they couldn’t be separated since they were so root bound. I know I did the right thing as I have so many blooms coming up! One seems to grow at least a centimetre a day.

Don’t spring flowers just cheer the soul. Hope your doing ok.
Those crocus all over just make me smile! And everyone who visits notices them, I just love them. I am worried about the moss, as that patch of grass is mostly green because of moss!
I think the majority of Ireland’s “lawns” are made up of moss – certainly here in the wet west!
It doesn’t get much sun for sure!
It’s the end of the Wet here. Torrential rain, nothing’s flowering, the grass is growing so fast we can almost see it, and I’m really looking forward to ‘winter’, and the dry season…
I love that I can enjoy your growing season when mine is … mud.
The Wonders of the World Wide Web… I like the idea of us on opposite sides of this great big ball of mud, with our different weathers and different seasons “Wait, let me send some rain down there!” “No, no, we’ve got half a year of it coming!”…
We had SNOW! And below freezing temps! Not a usual thang here.
My brother in Somerset had it too, great bergs of the stuff, with snowploughed cliffs on either side of the road to his house. Not common there either. It’s perfect confirmation that our weather is going mad, for all the nay-sayers who deny climate change.
I watch the clouds and they move one way, always. Until this!
Love those gerberas. Here in eastern US, we just have crocus, some forsythia and shit tons of tree pollen going RIGHT UP MY FRIGGIN NOSE.
