Amaryllis, chapter 2 - Week 9


Well as you see its still flowering.  


But this stalk only has three heads................ and the other stalk is doing well too.


More flowers, Morrison's white tulips 75p


two pots of mini daffodils 5p per pot!


Just lately I just cannot get motivated.  So many many ideas are spinning in my head, so I have been knitting!


I have quite a few balls of King Cole Splash yarn from when I used to work in a craft shop.  The yarn is lovely to work with and as you see I have taken some balls and separated the colours,


and knitted it up as fair isle.

The garden is coming on a treat


we've gone from this


this!

The plan is to perhaps plant roses and other flowering shrubs.  There was a lot of brambles and once we got to near the fence lots of dead wood.  Its a lane which once ran along the bottom of the garden, it was once probably a bier trail we think because beyond the oak tree always in the back-ground of the amaryllis is the graveyard.

  5. Snap - I bought white tulips this week too. I bet you gained a few extra feet of garden after the great clear up.
