So here we are in mid-December and almost at the point in the year when the days become longer. Can’t wait! I check for signs of new growth every day.
Here are my six:
Some roses are still hanging on 
The evergreen fern, Polystichum polyblepharum, looks good
 |
| Garlic planted late November developing nicely |
 |
| The cheerful colour of the Winter Jasmine is a welcome sight at the front door |
I like to plant up a pot of Bellis which will flower through until late Spring
This basket, which currently contains Cyclamen, will be substituted for pots of other plants according to the season

Perhaps you feel you could add your own six too.
Stay well everyone.

Nothing like a nice pot with a few cyclamen or bellis where you can see them every day. The fountain of winter jasmine looks very cheerful too.
ReplyDeleteYou've managed to find plenty of colour and some healthy garlic growth. I'm probably going to show my garlic next week, but it will only be the soil and label.😁
ReplyDeleteI wish I'd remembered to plant some garlic, yours looks lovely and healthy. And I am very fond of bellis, such jolly souls.
ReplyDeleteI'm very fond of bellis, a great plant for a pot and sure to cheer you up throughout winter.
ReplyDeleteThe view over the countryside is divine.
ReplyDeleteYes! I have been looking at the calendar and how the 21st is getting closer and closer, too.
ReplyDeleteWe have had a mix of milder and wetter days, which has apparently put the birds in pre-spring mood. Some behave as if the breeding season was just around the corner, and on a walk around the neighbourhood yesterday, I spotted a magnolia tree full of buds.
