The nursery

Snow still lying in the ground here, but its milder now & I expect its going to disappear soon.

Went for a wander round the garden this afternoon to see how it was looking. These are plants I've been growing for the last couple of years from seed, and I've potted them on and watered them so often it feels like I know every one like you would your own children. I was glad to see though that the snow blanket seems to be keeping them warm.

Being a garden designer we suffer from the old adage - a cobblers children are always poorly shod - I'm so busy taking care of everyone else's garden that ours gets badly neglected. But - huzzah - after 4 years we are finally getting round to doing our own this winter.

And these little babies are at long last going to get a home in the ground where they can grow away and take much better care of themselves.
