Spring Is In The Air ...

Good Morning!
As the title suggests, Spring is in the Air! Well I hope so anyway as I'm itching to get things going again in the Garden! 
Earlier in the week I visited a local Garden Centre and bought some bigger Hanging Baskets for the Summer ... however I couldn't resist getting a few bit's and pieces to make them up now!


I wanted to add some 'Permanent Structure' to these particular baskets so opted for some Box and Ivy Plants. These were added first towards to the back of the baskets. 
When making the basket I mixed some John Innes no.2 and Horticultural Grit together with some Multi Purpose.

For some instant colour I added some 'Tete a Tete' Daffodils along with some cheery Primroses. These can be swapped for something else in the Summer if I decide to take the Primroses out.



Some of the pot's of Crocus Bulbs I planted last year have come up so I gave them a little tidy along with a top dressing.

At the Garden Centre I also treated myself to a 'Fritillaria - Snakeshead', I divided up a few of the bulbs from the plant before potting up so I that I could have a few extra's!

Thanks for stopping by, I will have more to share with you later in the week!
HAPPY GROWING!

  3. Isn't it lovely to see the first signs of colour in the garden, Nat...well, in yours at least!?! I am itching for a little more warmth so that I can get the structural work done in my garden and then it'll be shopping for some new perennial additions and maybe a bit of instant colour! Well, if all goes to plan that is! Lisa x
