Yesterday

I was digging up the cuttings I had stored for the winter under the rhododendron (wow, I spelled it correctly!) and by the looks of it my azalea cutting has survived and looking well! No place to plant it but hey, a cute tiny little mini azalea is enough to put a smile on my face.

I did not remember to buy some rotting hormone though…

I only dug up one of my little storage places and mixed result. The things that looked very promising was, pampas grass and creeping baby’s breath. A tiny little thing was peeking up in a Physostegia Virginia but it could be something else. Anyway, placed them all in the greenhouse along with the cuttings and let’s see how it goes.

Spring time!

Last week snowdrops started top come up and now crocus, soon daffodils and tulips! It’s raining and I have holes in my boots. I want to go outside and work, and I might just after I finish my tea. I know I’ll break all of my (crooked) nails but I don’t care, my feet are going to get wet and cold but hopefully it will be worth it.
