I can't believe we are now at the end of March, where did it go? There has been a lot of wet weather around, in fact I often wondered if it would ever stop raining. But now at the end of the month we are finally seeing sunshine. So I have been hard at work getting the garden borders tidied up of debris and weeds. There is so much to do now.
It's a lovely time of year as things start to grow and the garden becomes more colourful. The green of the new growth is a sharp contrast to the blues and yellows of the flowers. The mini daffodils are going over now and the big daffodils are out. There are a lot of blue flowers emerging--chionodoxa, saponaria, brunnera, vinca which are looking really well with the lime green euphorbia. My tulip pots are not flowering yet but won't be long I'm sure.
I had a lovely surprise when I opened the cold frame last week. I found several auricula plants which I had forgotten about. I had put in there in the autumn. I don't know if they really need to be protected overwinter, but I think I was just having a big tidy up session at the time. The auriculas were starting to flower so I have now taken them out of the cold frame and put them on the garden tables where I can enjoy them.
This month I am linking with Sarah at Down by the Sea for her monthly 'Through the Garden Gate ' slot.
