Well today been doing a fair bit of work on my rosé bed dug it over getting ready for The on slaught of spring those who like to garden and would like to follow this thread by all means ask me any questions about gardening or photographic work I will try my best to answer them best I can
 
I have some snowdrops but they are under a pile of last year's hedge trimmings, plus various other woody shrub prunings. But, today I made a start burning the remnants of the christmas tree and some huge chunks of buddleja. If the weather holds, I'll be at the forsythia before that is out to minimise the quantity of stuff to deal with. One day I will cut everything back so I can actually see the smaller flowers. I did clear an area last year and planted a load of nasturtiums and harvested the seeds for this year too. They provide colour either through flower or foliage for many months and also brighten up any salad.

My wife edits the Garden Tripod magazine .. Do let her know if you wanted to write an article about your gardening and diabetes, or send photos of your super garden.

Lucky you being able to dig your rose beds.
My allotment is like a bog at the moment - I'm sure my onions will have floated away by the time I get back up the allotments.
 
Incredibly impressive, Raymond. :snaphappy:
