We are indeed at the heart of winter, the nights are cold and very cold days, the sky is desperately low and gray, just very normal for late January. Nothing moves in the garden, everything seems asleep and frozen. Not so sure. In a garden, life revolves While idling in the winter but there is no such thing as off-season. If we look closer, the conscientious gardener and not too lethargic sees encouraging signs but discreet, I agree, that show that time passes and that the good times will return before long .
Walking around the garden in search of change or evolution in the winter flowering and also to take stock what remains to be transplanted and that I could develop or revise, I was surprised and happy to see the first spring bulbs (or late winter depending on the year) to point the nose, some are buttons and some, not for two chilly in beginning to bloom. This show really delighted the gardener and makes him forget some small annoyance.
For example, the final loss of the last remaining snowdrops in some corners removed. I managed almost all the bulbs except snowdrops. Will I give up? Maybe not. I want to try planting bulbs in a large-caliber ground copiously enriched compost in the ground or why not in a large pot.
This hardly counts against the pleasure it is to see the first crocuses begin to bloom, although I expect that most varieties bloom with large blue flowers that j love her very much but this does not occur until March.
The daffodils are all gone now. Here and there, some are already flower heads of waiting a little sweetness and light to thrive.
hyacinths and irises are visible crosslinked them too.
It is clear that the worst is over, hope is reborn, but be careful, experience shows that February can be tough and we still reserve surprises.
