Unfortunately, I am spending less time in my small garden this spring due to problems in the family. But I still can enjoy the bluebells – both last year’s and the new ones I planted this year. I’m sure I’ll make a flowerbed of these bright flowers next year.
Happy New 2023 Year to all my friends, followers, and customers!
My new plant is blooming! I bought Astilbe in May and planted it without being sure it would flower this summer. But it worked! I plan to buy more Astilbes next year because there are only a few sunny places in my garden, and Astilbe grows well in the shadow under my pine trees.
I left my little garden with blooming tulips and daffodils and travelled abroad.
After a few touches of frost, my flowers survived. Daffodils and a few tulips bloomed. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of grass in the garden, all because I’ve been ill for a week and can’t weed. I’m feeling better today and hope to get this sorted out within a week.
On the first spring day (yesterday), my crocuses gave me a lot of joy. They are all in bloom: purple, violet, white, and yellow. I am slightly afraid of my tulips and daffodils because they are growing fast. Unfortunately, the feather forecast for April is tough with the minus temperatures at night. I hope forecasters are mistaken. Anyway, we’ll see.
March is the first spring month, even if the first spring flowers are under the snow and the temperature is -1 at night. The first crocuses appeared in my small town garden in February. But I could take some photos only when the sun shined from behind the clouds. These crocuses are two years old. I decided not to dig them last year. Thus, they bloomed the first.
These tiny individual crocuses are only one year old; I planted them last year. I hope there will be more of them the following year. They are a little darker than the previous ones.
Also, my tulips and daffodils are crazy trying to prove that there is the highest time to bloom for them. I tried not to plant one flower on another or too close, but it never succeeded, and my tulips are growing on the crocuses.
These lilacs have been growing in the same place for more than ten years and are still flowering. Admittedly no longer as profusely as they used to. For this reason, I want to replant them at the end of summer. I don’t have another place for them, I will plant them in the same field, but I will divide and remove the old roots. We will see how they will flower next summer.
When I look at this photo, the questions arise: why I haven’t got a jasmine cross stitch pattern in the shop and why I haven’t got this bush in my little city garden under my window? And then I understand that I haven’t got enough place to grow this big beautiful blooming bush here. What a pity!
Here are a few more photos from my garden. The Tulips disappointed me this year. Unfortunately, there are only the leaves themselves and only a few flowers. I don’t know what is wrong with them. Maybe I planted them too late or too deep. It is a pity, but there are no more beautiful ones from last year. The Daffodils are beautiful as always. The tiny blue Muscaris appeared. I also have Lilies of the Valley and am waiting while they bloom. Finally, Chaenomeles is blooming gorgeous as well.
