 The Hellebores are starting into flower just 2 so far, the yellow and the white with pink spots ,I don't have variety names  for them 

The clumps of Snowdrops are looking so beautiful .I moved a lot of them into the meadow last year I will thin these out to fill up the border 

I pruned all the Camellia bushes quite hard last year they have even more buds and flowers than before

This one usually flowers last but its one of the first this year

This was a pot of Polyanthus I bought last year and planted it out into the garden when it was over

This was an impulse buy when shopping on Tuesday it will cheer me up in the plant house until the bulbs come up . They have been re-potted  so lots of room to produce bigger plants

The table of assorted bulbs just waiting for the spring

January Evening Sky
 Well what a strange start to the year .The flowers in bloom in the garden reflect the odd start to the year, Currently I have pink flowered Strawberries, Sage. Snowdrops and Hellebores.
Broken Cordyline
 The strong winds and gales Snapped my Cordyline in half , but hopefully it will recover from halfway up the trunk.
Hellebore
Sage
Snowdrops
We have a new rat proof hen pen but still having endless battle with the nasty critters.
No sooner do I seem to be getting on top of them  ,but new ones move in.
Pink flowered Strawberry
I have lots of plans for the garden this year , back to basic vegetables with tried and true favorites.
Lots of bulbs planted in Planthouse for early flowering to cheer me up on dark rainy dull days.
The Bully
I hope to have lots of interesting photos and items to share  .I hope you will return form time to time to see how I am progressing ,you will be most welcome.
