Our Garden - March 2014
pigs

So much happens in the garden in March that I ventured out again on the 19th and took some more photos (the earlier ones are lower down the page).

plants

We have a few hyacinths in flower - lots of different colours.

kerria

The Kerria Japonica is starting to flower but the rest of the bushes against the fence at the end of the garden are nowhere near ready to flower yet.

strawberries

The veg beds are all dug over and fed and waiting for me to start planting stuff. The new strawberries seem to be thriving in their tubs.

These pretty little anemones also close up when it's dark - just caught this one before it went to bed for the night.

The sun hasn't changed direction in the photo on the left, it's reflecting off the patio doors.

plant

We have a small number of Cyclamen from earlier years - just shows how mild this winter had been.

daffs

Daffodils are one of my favourite flowers so there are a few of those around as well.

These are always our first tulips to flower - they open up when it's sunny and close up again if dull, wet or dark.

forsythia

The forsythia is lovely at this time of year.

That's it for this wander around. The following photos are from earlier in March.

Early March, early morning and a quick wander round the garden before work to take advantage of the lovely Spring sunshine. There are quite a few daffodils out as well as a few primulas, crocuses and various other lovely flowers.

This photo of a Helebore was a bit of an experiment but I'm pleased with the way it's turned out.

cyclamen

I didn't think the Cyclamen would survive from one year to the next but this one seems to be doing OK.

It was lovely to see the sunshine after such a damp Winter.

daffodils

It's amazing how many different kinds of Daffodils there are. We only have a small selection in our garden.

dogwood

The sunshine was lighting up the Cornus - this one looked like it was on fire.

The Red Robin is really coming into its own now. I had to prune it hard a couple of years ago as it seemed to be fading fast but now it's got a new lease of life and is thriving.

The frost made the leaves look pretty.

I'm always in two minds as to whether to clear the leaves from under the Acer or leave them. This year I compromised and cleared a few of them and left the rest. The Crocuses manage to peep through whatever I do.

broccoli

The Broccoli is almost all eaten now - very tasty it has been too.
