Wednesday


I get stuck writing the title and never write the post. Today is Wednesday. Problem solved. On to the post.

It is a wet air day today but the light is so much better this past week, it no longer feels grim. Spring starts slowly, and the magic is renewed.

Bulb peeking through! Tulip or allium?

I need to fix the wonky cottage garden path, it’s too narrow. Putting it here for accountability.

Last year I had gladioli to the right there behind the rose, maybe this year it will be Amaranthus Velvet Curtains. I need a big container for the gladioli, huge. Maybe just a dedicated bed? They don’t overwinter and make a mess when removed so they don’t make good neighbours. The bulbs multiply! The amaranthus would bring a nice goth background to the hot pink of the rose, and it’s just an annual.

I hope that clematis blooms this year, it’s looking very bronze after the snow.
