Mainly it’s about the animals.

June 20, 2013 by sometimesgardening

If you can call snails animals. The three year old has taken to keeping snails as pets. Which is good in one way as there are no longer so many in the garden. However, irregardless of how many times I have said they must stay in the garden, she sneaks them into the house. I found two on the wall in the hall and three in the bathroom.  I live in a kind of fear of crunching on one in […]

I take it back

May 12, 2013 by sometimesgardening

about the tulips. Yesterday, I was sitting in the once in a life time May Bank Holiday sunshine and they looked ok. Especially back lit, they glowed and then it didn’t seem to matter that they weren’t individually great it was their very discordant, mixed up jumbledness that worked. This is Angelique – still not mad on it but it does take a good photo. Perhaps this is why it’s so popular – you see it in the catalogues and […]

There are lots of white and I don’t know why I did that. I think white tulips are very classy and pretty but day to day in a back garden they are boring. Then there are the reds which are good but alongside them […]

I had 10 minutes today

April 10, 2013 by sometimesgardening

and I had about 100 bulbs to plant. They were mainly the little Allium sphaerocephalon but there was also some Allium ‘Purple Sensation’ and a few Tulips. Bulbs are such great things for the garden – cheap, quick to plant and colourful. I had bought lots last year but unbelievably I hadn’t managed to plant them all. So they were knocking around, marooned on a bookshelf. The other day the bag of them tumbled down and they were spilled onto the […]
