New Plantings in the garden

Today was a lovely day and I took advantage of the weather. I worked with Alison and we planted the bulbs we bought at Christmas. We put 20 Ornithogalum umbellatum, and 3 Frittilaria persica in the front garden bed. They should give us a good show later in the year.

End of 2020 in the chrysanthemum series

 Today, 29th January is a lovely day, after an extremely wet day yesterday.

I followed up on last weeks lifting of the Alouise Pink chrysanthemums by doing the Max Riley chrysanthemums today. They are lifted and put in trays so I can take cuttings for next year in a few days time.

After 2 good days in the garden I have pruned all the old growth of the Max Riley's and the Alouise Pinks.

I have found Pot Black, a lovely Red.

The Hesketh Knights are in full bloom.

Another good day today.

 I have just found this blog after some time. I will now try to keep it alive.

2020 has been a hell of a year, coronavirus, Trump and so on. Let us hope 2021 will be a better year.

I had a look at some bronze chrysanthemums,
