About Me
Welcome to my blog. I am an amateur gardener who is almost fanatical about plants but I also have other interests such as sewing, knitting, reading and cooking and they also appear here
This blog is a record of my endeavours, my inspirations and my successes though sometimes I stray off topic although if you look hard enough there will generally be some link to horticulture somewhere!

I just love daffodils and they are probably the flowers I miss most living in Lazio. In England almost every garden, every roundabout, every churchyard has daffodils, here I hardly ever see any – and the ones I planted have done so poorly that this year I don’t think there will be any. Christina
It’s yellow and yet, I quite like it. Just one of life’s mysteries…
Mine are nowhere near that stage yet – I just love the way they cheer up the garden.
Ours are budding but won’t be in flower for a while yet. We are 600 ft above sea level so that makes a difference.
gorgeous…I cannot wait to see my first daff…I mark my true first day of spring with that first daff…
Hi Donna – yes for me daffodils means that spring has arrived. I go past a large planting of them on the way to work and they have started to flower as well, just need some sunshine now
Lovely. Ours are still a few weeks away, so thanks for sharing yours.
Lovely! Mine are all still shut up tight.
Hi Green Thumbs & HM – these daffodils are a particularly early one. I inherited them when I bought the house and they always flower very early
The first daffodil is always a special occurrence in my garden. I always feel like spring is truly upon us but it is February.
Sunshine in February.
Our daffodils are just numbs, but the snowdrops are blooming now a month early.
Such a lovely sight. We’ve been enjoying ours for a couple of weeks now too: on wet grey days like these they really lift the gloom a little.
