This beautiful rose was sent to mum last year for her 95th birthday, sadly it was her last, but she’d had a good long life & we were lucky to have her for so long.
I don’t know its name but obviously it’s now called ‘mums rose’ & will be a lovely reminder 🧡🌿

Garden Diary – It’s Christmas & we’re past the shortest day!
Christmas festivities and we’ve celebrated the winter solstice. I think non of us can wait to get to the other side of the shortest day, and feel we are heading back towards summer.

Catch you in a few days 🪴

Does anyone else grow living stones? Or Lithops to give them their proper name.

It’s a time for looking back at photos of how the garden looked this year, and deciding what worked well and what needs improvement. The photographs are an invaluable tool!

As Monday dawned last week and we said hello to December, we didn’t realise that by the end of the week we’d be saying goodbye one of our elderly cats.

This was the first year that I’ve grown dwarf tulips & I was really pleased with them. They’re in pots so I’m hoping they come again.
This is a species variety, Tulipa humilis 'Persian Pearl' 🌿🩷🌿
