It’s been a sunny weekend so I’ve made the most of it and done some plotting both days. Yesterday I tidied up the top corner where the cornus/dogwood tree is, then weeded and hoed all round. The clump of brown stems on the left in the picture below are asters/Michaelmas daisies.
This morning I cleared the main flower patch of any pot marigold tap roots which had remained in the ground when I cleared the foliage recently. I was thankful that the crocus Romance were showing so I could work round them without worrying where they were. They’ll need carefully hand weeding, as will the the crocus Snow Bunting by the dog rose.
OnThursday I forgot to mention, and show, the vinca/periwinkle flowers out front at home.
This picture is from March 2017, as it’s much better than the one I took during the week.
Have a good week, and take care!

You have vinca in bloom? Mine doesn’t bloom until April. How true it is that it is such a challenge to weed where there are hidden gems. Glad to see your crocus peeking through. Have a good week.

We have to make the most of any sunny days we get now. We’ve had so much rain that everywhere is very muddy here.

Jo we certainly do. So far the rain here has all soaked into the ground fairly quickly. xx

It’s still all happening!
I now know what I have been looking at and enjoying in someone else’s garden for the last few years: Periwinkle. Are they easy to propagate?
Wishing you a good week Mr F.

That’s a pretty shade of vinca. I used to grow vinca minor, a vining plant that did pretty well as ground cover.
