Today was the first time since the very beginning of December that I ventured out into the garden. It was a nice bright and sunny day although it was pretty chilly. The bulbs in the bedding border are already in bud.
Apart from gathering all the twigs that I had piled up in the borders, the main job today was pruning the roses. I tried to cut them into a vase shape as recommended. Here are some below.
Some of the winter flowering shrubs look good.
This year I planted wallflowers instead of bulbs. Not great at the moment but will see in the spring.
I topped up the compost in a pot of iris. Those in the borders also look fine.
Some nice snowdrops.
I removed all the Asters from the border under the living room window that had struggled to flower last year. A nice space for something new in what looks like some decent soil between the Echinacea and the rose Blue for You.
