The star of the garden at the moment is our Magnolia.  It is a white flowering variety but I am not sure of the name.  Plants are coming through nicely in the herbaceous border and everything everywhere is looking lush and green.  We have a few rabbits in the garden so I cover some of the most tender plants with rattan cloches until they get going. The Primula Hose-in-Hose look very pretty against the dark mulch and there is an abundance of Forget me Nots coming up everywhere.  The seed was probably in the home made compost but I don’t mind getting plants for free I can always weed out what I don’t want.

Spring Vegetable Patch!

I still have the heater on low in the greenhouse for the summer plants that have overwintered in there and I do put the blind down on very sunny days and also open the windows to ventilate it. It’s incredible how hot it gets.  I have just started the Dahlias off in the potting shed and once they come through I will take some cuttings.  I did this for the first time last year and was pleased at how well they took.
