Evening Tulips

I took a short wander through the garden this evening. And, wow, the tulips are really producing the colour right now, and certainly remain as the plant of the moment:

A Sight for Sore Eyes

 I have been a bit baddie over the last few days with my old eye problems. Apparently I should get my operation in about 12 more months! I saw the optician this morning as getting to see a doctor or consultant is next to impossible these days. Apparently the blood vessels in my 'good' eye burst as the it was overworked while my swollen eyelid kept my 'bad' eye closed for a day.

Anyway, it is starting to heal again - for now.

I do have some good eye news to share too, as I have added a few more eye talismans to my Glastonbury Speaking Tree Crassula ovata:

Tulitopia

Well, with the garden looking as inviting as this ⬆️, I would be a sin for me not to catch some rays!

Need I Say it? These brightly coloured tulips are now my favourite plants in our garden:

Our Spanish Moss is back out in the garden to enjoy the sunshine too:

The peris has come into its own too 😎

Our Euphorbia Black Pearl is looking distinguished too:

And, finally, our Glass House is complete!

Green House Progress

Our Glass House is now in situ in the spot once occupied by the chickens. All it is short of now is the actual glass. Unfortunately rain stopped play before we could add that final touch...

Caturday Smiler

One of the many cats who visit our garden. I call him Smiler.

Glastonbury Crassula Ovata

I have been meaning to decorate the branches of this money  tree for a while now.

I grew this from a single leaf from the great specimen tree found upstairs in The Speaking Tree bookshop in Glastonbuty.

 

Garden Plant of the Moment

It is now that time of the year for our garden magnolia to shine 😎

A Day in the Garden!

A rare day off work combined with in ever rarer warm, sunny day. Which meant just one thing - a day in the garden!

Gardening

I finally managed to clear the chicken coop from the garden today! 

Whilst I was dismantling and burning the construction, Mrs E busied herself by adding a small wildlife pond to the garden:

The oustanding plant of the moment has to be our cherry tree, both in is large and bosai forms:

A Day in the Garden

 Today felt like the end of an era as I continued work dismantling our no-longer-needed chicken run.

It felt good to spend some time outside in the open air again and see the signs all around me that the horrible winter has finally passed.

My Chalice Well sycamores are really starting to come into their own now. I grew these three trees from seeds collected from Glastonbury many moons ago now:

Happy Budhha continues to smile no matter what circumstances he finds himself in - a guide for us all:

I caught this earthy fella mid-snack as I lifted him to his feet again after he'd spent the last winter face down in the soil:

It really was an enchanting afternoon, well spent in the rare Welsh sunshine!

Honesty Sown

I picked some seeds from this Honestly plant I found growing in Knighton last September, when I attended last year's Guy N Smith con. Today, I sowed them 🙂🌱

Cone

Found this in our garden today:

Witch Hazel

The outstanding plant in our, albeit winter-bleak, garden at the moment has to be our Witch Hazel. Watch this space for its successor...

Indoor Gardening

With Spring in sight at long last, my enthusiasm for gardening, albeit indoor gardening, is burgeoning.  😊
