Garden’s starting to look promising.

I’ve been looking forward to the end of January, the time when I get busy in the garden again. I only do garden work in short bursts out of respect for my bad back, but it’s amazing what can be accomplished in 3 fifteen minute bouts in a day. All the debris from recent storms is now binned. Paths have been brushed and hosed down, and pots have been washed in readiness for whatever I chose to plant in them. A good deal of weeding had to be done and tubs of bulbs planted in the autumn have been positioned where I want them to bloom. Another tub has been seeded with trailing nasturtiums that will in time disguise an eyesore of a barbecue erected by a previous owner of the house. It really is a most hideous edifice, and impossible to move, but orange and yellow blooms should help. Have you started getting the garden into shape yet?
