Vibrant Blues and Baby Agaves

When are these last dreary days of the winter going to end?!!

Such greyness, so much rain, it seems endless. Here we are, nearly at the end of February, where we should have had at least a couple of decent days.

As I stood in my greenhouse a few days ago with packets of seeds in my hand, I wondered why I was even trying. So I came indoors and lit a cosy fire!!

To save being indoors for yet another day, we decided to go to the garden ..... we didn`t stay long. 

So dismal, with light rain in the air.

I took a few photos and then we had a welcome cuppa in the polytunnel. At least it provides some colour and warmth.
 


Cornflowers are growing in the sacks of our own compost, along with chickweed.

The agaves will need repotting and they are producing babies. It might be a precarious job. 

 

A spot of vibrant blue, provided by "Blue Ensign" pulmonaria.

And then home earlier than usual to check on the greenhouse and I am happy to say the first sweetpeas are up in their seed snail packaging.

I moved pots of hyacinths to the patio to create a good view from our kitchen.
 

 

And I picked some camellias to cheer myself up.

 

And finally .... here is a sight for sore eyes.
