March - Tidying the Garden continues 🌿

        Sunshine and showers ......but mostly showers .....mizzle and drifting sea mist .

Expertrees came to sort out some of our larger trees . I was amazed to see tree surgeon climb so high up into our Eucalyptus tree !  He reduced the height . There are branches lower down and it should now become a much better shape . I love my Eucalyptus tree ! At last it's had the attention it has needed for so long .

 The big old dark and totally useless Morello Cherry tree has been cut down , to allow light in for my much better looking  Monkey Puzzle tree  . You have to earn your keep if you want to be a tree in my garden !

  The cherry will bush out from the bottom ,  I can manage it and the birds can nest in it . The variegated  Griselinia littoralis and the gorgeous Acer Bloodgood on the right hand side will also benefit from having more light .

At the moment the little Monkey Puzzle tree is the star of the show . I grew it from seed 🌱.

We are slowly getting the garden back into shape after all the Winter storms . 

Look at our new fence !   Look at that fence !!!  Two amazing chaps did that for us . 

We have had so much rain , same as everyone , that it quickly became an absolute quagmire !

My granddaughter helped me to restore it . We raked it level , sprinkled compost and scattered grass seed . It will be raining for the next few days and should soon germinate . It has also become a little bit milder ,which will also help .

  She got pocket money .....more than I ever got !  🤣

Meanwhile in the shed ........

My Lavender plug plants from Thompson and Morgan have arrived  !

                  I'm pleased with them . They are tiny but healthy looking plug plants .

I quickly got them potted up and into the greenhouse just while they settle in and get their roots down .

It's been a busy time with dentist and my last physio appointment . I no longer need the walking stick , just need to keep doing the exercises and keeping my core muscles strong .

 Dentist was not for me this time but Ricardo . A long trek into Truro and trying out the new "park and ride "......I took my needlework and met two lovely ladies in the waiting room who were also into embroidery , watercolour painting and quilting and crafts .  We talked and laughed and nattered away happily while Ricardo was being seen to upstairs .

Flowers appearing now -  lovely Primroses .💛

......and in my secret Fern garden  ...

         🐭      The peculiar little  Arisorum proboscideum  .     🐁

                        Also known as "The Mouse Tail Plant "

                                          That's all fer now my lovelies !  

     Love and Peace and a little more kindness in the world would be good  🕊️
