Shush, be quiet, don’t tell anyone but I think that Spring is around the corner. The clocks go forward this weekend and the garden is coming to life again.
My garden is at its best in the Spring with a hundreds of bulbs flowering. We start off in January with the galanthus which can look like the real cold stuff at times. Then the crocuses of varying colours followed by the early daffodils – it’s lovely to see the 'tête á tête' giving an early splash of colour. To quote Wordsworth:- ‘Beside the lake, beneath the trees, fluttering and dancing in the breeze’. Well actually it’s usually a howling gale!
Then blues in the form of chionodoxa, sycillas, anemones and the muscari, the latter look fabulous paired with the acid yellow of euphorbia. Now the forsythia, rhododendron praecox, prunus trees and berberis are all blooming and even the hedgerows are starting to show some colour. AND ‘his lordship’ has resorted to giving the lawn its first haircut. Have you ever noticed how many different shades of green there in nature – much more noticeable in the Spring. I understand that there are over 180 different shades of green in the art world.
At any point in the year there are flowers blossoming here, but I love the Spring best with the promise of the Summer to come.
