What was in bloom in mid March

I love this time of year in the garden - I suppose there's a lot of green and buds but in my mind's eye I see all the potential flowers!

 The clematis Montana ready to bloom.

 Radish seedlings

 Parsley seedlings

 Lettuce, cress and freesia

 Nasturtiums

 Californian Poppies

 Tulips

 Apple blossom

 Wild garlic

 Rhododendron buds

 Geraniums in the summer house

 Marigold- I'll have loads of these all over the garden before long!

Tulips

Some garden colour last month

 The back garden was full of "Three cornered Leek/garlic" and I love it! I gathered armfuls and had it in jugs and vases all over the house. I used the flowers as garnishes on food and spent some time drawing them too :) Eventually I dug lots of it out to make a vegetable bed.

 Muscari/ grape hyacinth

 I removed this entire bed of wild garlic

 A little sempervivum which stays under cover until the better weather.

 Red tips of photinia.

 New growth on the Pieris.

 Primula

 Clematis buds.

Glossy leaves on the Fatsia Japonica. This started off as a little pot plant and is now huge in the back garden.

Lockdown gardening! Clematis Montana in bloom

Coronavirus has brought many changes to us all and I feel very blessed that I can stay at home and feel relatively safe. Sadly I cannot work the way I used to because I can't demo for obvious reasons and I have limited access to new products.

On the other hand I have much more time to spend in the garden and kitchen :) 

I've always loved gardening and growing plants because I love the creativity and also enjoy drawing the flowers etc. 

I thought I'd share some recent photos of what's been blooming.
