All behind at Goltho

I am now gardening in earnest, trying to catch up the time that was lost before Christmas I am about 6 weeks behind with cutting back and general tiding. If you are thinking of coming around the garden please bare this in mind as I do not think the garden is up to its usual standard.

Snowdrops are coming out so if this warmer weather keeps up they will be out in force very soon. Hellebores range from very nearly out to just coming though the ground, Daffodils are showing their heads but will be a few weeks yet before they are showing any colour.

New Year at Goltho

I t has certainly been a 'proper' winter this year, with temperatures down to -18 at times here in Lincolnshire I hope it has got rid of plenty of pests and diseases.

I am desperately trying to get some gardening done but the elements are clearly against me doing any, did a little last week and it felt really good getting out their again after all the excesses of Christmas and New Year.

Had a quick walk around today trying to keep off the grass as it is frozen solid at the moment, the snowdrops after last weeks warmer weather have come on in leaps and bounds, some are even out!!
