First blog
Well here goes, thought I would start a blog to keep a record for myself and to share with like minded people.
The picture is of a cyclamen that is my favourite flower in the garden at the moment. Nothing special – just one of those £1.99 jobs from the DIY store but it has been flowering away since November. Pretty good value for money. It would be nice to think it will reappear next year but not doubt one of the squirrel tribe will get to the corms first.
Whilst I try and garden without using chemicals, my patience is tested on a regular basis particularly in relation to the slithery ones. I have two beautiful Primula japonicas, bought from a plant sale last year. The mauvey red of the flowers exactly matched the flowers of the Rhodedenron that was behind them. Totally by luck rather than design. When I went today to see how they were getting on they, and a Pulmonaria, had disappeared although just after Christmas they looked fine. There was a tail tale snail shell near by so I suspect this was the cause of their disappearance.
