Finally winter is coming to a close. To be fair, after a brutally cold and snowy December it has not been all that bad, although there were a couple of damned cold weeks in January! No return of the snow, knock on wood! A couple of years ago it snowed at Easter! Fingers crossed no repeat of that! It hasn't seemed to be an eternal depressing season this year around ;-)
I noted midweek that the sunset in West London is now past 17:30 which means that there is enough working light until at least 6pm. If the weather doesn't freeze the hands too badly that leaves about an hour every day to get out into the garden ;-). Not that I have had an iota of time to do this at the moment. Too much DIY trying to finish off the nursery! That's not a plant nursery but rather a kids bedroom ;-). I figure I have 2 1/2 more weekends work there but if I spend a few evenings as well then in a couple of weeks I should have a little more gardening time. I need it! Despite all the pictures of flowers there are also plenty of weeds taking over the lawn! In fact I need to sort these out this week. Must take a break from the nursery to sort that out!
In the meantime I snuck out for 10 minutes today to grab a few more photos of the new colour in the garden. It is so nice after the bleak winter to see the garden really start to brim with colour again. Although this of course means that the lawn mower and hedge trimmer will soon have to make an appearance!
The picture above is of some mini daffodils. Below, even the Rosemary is showing a little colour after coming into flower
The Crocuses also putting on a fine show
If if yellow is your thing, here is a rather large splash of it!
Finally another few spots of purple.
Love that we are so close to Spring! Hoping that if I finish the DIY, that I might just be able to enjoy it in the garden! ;-)
Have fun
