Garden notes on 29 February 2020

Time is a precious thing and so an extra day, courtesy of a leap year, is to be relished!  Even better, it's a sunny day today, after weeks of very cold high winds and rain.  Here is how the garden is growing on this bonus day of 29 February.

The border in the inner garden is beginning to stir with some three year old wallflowers starting to bloom, roses, bulbs and perennials are showing new shoots, flowerpots and containers are looking pretty.

We have a tiny little snowdrop wood!  At this time of the year it is a joy.  Once the snowdrops fade it is just a dark carpet of green ivy, until next January.  The outer garden holds more treasures and signs of approaching Spring.
