Hello and welcome ....

....to some pictures and a little text in which we follow the activities of a barely competent gardener as he struggles to wrench back control of his patch from the forces of Mother Nature's feral twin sister.

Signs of green

There are actually green things pushing their way up in my garden. Maybe not everything is dead. These are daffodils.

  3. It takes a true gardener to find beauty in the new shoots. Lovely image and good find. Here, I would be digging a couple of feet of snow, but I do know there are some little shoots down there, having appeared prior to the snow.

  8. I always find myself heaving a sigh of relief when I see bulbs pushing up through the earth, it means they didn't rot away. Love the light in your photo.
