However, there is also pollen and it is three quarters of the way to hell! But, warm is warm and this is what I found today when I went out to brave the bees!
Mini daffodils, I love them and buy pots of them all winter to have on the table at dinner. Then I replant them in voids in the garden. These little beauties are from last year's stash. This is the point of the new sitting area in the South Garden.
As I made my way around and surveyed the land I was pleased to see all but one of the eight types of garlic had come up. Some were up four inches and growing happily.
As you can see, we have very rocky soil to which I add humus in the form of our very own compost.
Some of the stones one finds around here are worthy of polishing and using as top dressing in the
various planters that house the decorative flowers on the portal. Oh, I am so glad that warmer weather is not far off and the gardens will thrive again! Good luck to you all in the more wintry areas, may Spring come very soon!
