To The Rescue!

 pottering round the garden centre last weekend, I came across these rather sad looking plants on the reduced table - a droopy delphinium and several trays of lobelia. Never one to abandon a tired plant (especially when only 20p each) I've now re-housed them, given them some desperately needed water and they're looking much better.

 I'm hoping they'll turn out as lovely as these 'rescued' pansies

and this blueberry which was just a sad twiggy thing this time last year and is now ready to flower and perhaps even fruit :)

getting ready

a week of starting to get the garden ready for spring.
many more snowdrops are in bud now and some are in flower, not slowed down by a slight snowfall on Wednesday. there should be some of the small yellow 'botanical' crocus flowering alongside the snowdrops but can find no signs of them.

tomato and flower seeds are beginning to grow so have moved them, still in a propagator to a windowsill- moving them to follow the sun in the afternoon- and have been sowing more seeds to place in the airing cupboard -Harbinger and Gartenperle tomatoes, Luxury and Crystal Lemon cucumbers, Worldbeater and Cayenne peppers and some home grown flower seeds that I hope are delphiniums, but could be aquilegias.
