At this time of year when so many colourful, showy flowers are bursting forth, it’s easy to miss some of the beautiful but much more subtle floral displays, or simply to mistake them for leaves. Of these, maple is my favourite! Blooming, as many plants do, before the leaves bud and grow, th...Sunny 13°C / 55°F -

The warm spell in March brought on the forsythia early this year, and the cooler temperatures since have kept it blooming much longer than usual. The frothy yellow fronds have been brightening up so many gardens, whether it’s just a few feathery branches or a whole hedge, almost naturalized...Rainy 11°C / 52°F -

I have so much pulmonaria popping up it’s like a weed – but blooming beautifully. All the trees are breaking bud except the butternu...Cloudy 25°C / 77°F -

Finally got around to transplanting Coleus cuttings and planting seeds to grow under lights and on windowsills and decided it would be a good time to find out more about how to use Folia. I’ve always been bad at keeping track of plantings – in the past I would have written it on the c... -

My fingers nearly froze hanging out the laundry this morning, but the sun is shining brightly so I’m going to venture out to do some more raking. While the weather is more seasonal than it was a few weeks ago, that warm spell left the garden weeks ahead of where it usually is. The crocuses ...Sunny 10°C / 50°F -
