Perhaps some bulbs benefit from the exclusion of light and wet on the soil, and we should persuade cats to reside permanently on all of them to clarify just which are better for it.
Great to read as usual. Thank you. Low effort things paying dividends in the garden...my Spring flower/bulb table on view from the kitchen sink. In my life... a new slowcooker recipe book which has recipes other than the usual casserol type things - healthy stuff and just 6 ingredients or less!!
"Nathan Anthony.... Bored of Lunch - six ingredient slow cooker" The lemon chicken was delicious!
Just a tip .... you probably already know but..... recipes like the sticky thai basil beef.... line your slowcooker to make clean up easy. I scrunch parchment paper under the cold tap, put on the bottom of the slow cooker, add a light spray of oil then put the ingredients in.
I am terrific at making lists but less good about crossing things off. I am a born procrastinator and half the time don't even know why I procrastinate. I just hate *having* to do something.
Your bulbs still look great. Mine are popping through slowly. I planted a lot but am now thinking I didn't plant enough that flowered at the same same :-\ There's always next year I suppose.
I think my garden is a little behind yours. I’m at peak daffodil and the allium are just starting to show. I’m still at the stage where every spring is a nerve wracking wait to see what’s come back. But my no effort win is my oak tree. Around 200 years old and majestic.
Love the bowl, Butter has an amazing eye for all things beautiful 🥰no wonder the cat liked to use it as a napping spot ❤️my white hellebores underneath my amelanchiers are looking good they seem to seed around and come up true Thank you for another lovely Monday post X
Lovely pink/red hellebores especially the 'Anna's red', my eldest granddaughter is called Anna so I always think of her when I look at it. Pots of Tete a Tete daffodils, primroses and little blue bulbs just starting to flower, I think they are scilla and pushkinia, need to check the labels. Native primroses nestling around logs in my attempt at a stumpery.
it's the hellebores in my garden giving me joy too.... perfect little but resilient dark pink flowers of loveliness. and the returning euphorbia is always the sign that warmer days are coming :)
I love blue and have blue anemones in the lawn out now
This sounds heavenly

I think you may have a very good point there
Making our to do lists as minimal as possible. As the weight of this self imposed anxiety is not good for our wellbeing.

I need the name of this book please!

I have EXACTLY these same thoughts

YES we need to zoom out and garden for your great great grandchildren

I love Scilla too scattered in several beds but my favourite at the moment is the Daphne Jacqueline Postill she’s a dream
Oh Lord how I wish I had Postill in my garden right now…you must be in heaven!
I love your bulb table
I may just leave every pot this year and see what comes back
lovely idea to put hellebores beneath amelanchier...I'll be copying that!
get a cat to sit on them?
Hurrah for euphorbia!

I planted some Scilla Rosea and they’ve not done much at all, hopeful after reading this they will come good next year! Love the bulb table!
