There’s still so little growing in the garden that I may be repeating myself each week. This time, I’ve tried to focus in on some interesting details in flower and foliage. This week’s #SixOnSaturday coming up!

I will start where it is nice and warm (ie above 4 deg C) in the greenhouse today. I have had to work hard to prevent over-wintering plants from rotting, making sure to air the greenhouse on the few non-rainy days when I’m also not at work! It has paid off, some of the geraniums are starting to sprout new leaves. They have wonderful texture.

Pulmonaria is good plant for February. This often gets itself going on those sunny cold days we get in winter. We have had very few of those this year, but at last, in the second half of February, here they come. The detail of the subtle colour change across the flowers, and their hairiness is great to get close to.

Briefly back to the greenhouse. I have started seeds in the house, then as soon as they poke up their heads, they get moved to the greenhouse. Some tiny leek seedlings seem to be responding well to this relatively harsh treatment.

Back into the main garden, the brave poppies that had a go a couple of weeks ago seem to have survived last week’s sprinkle of snow and are bulking out nicely now, another plant full of hairy, slightly spongey leaves.

And now for the great news. Anemones are just about making it, here is my first flower, in a pot, in a warm location near the greenhouse.

Euphorbia are also getting the action going, with their new little shoots, each holding a tiny flower. These thugs can be annoying when they spread themselves widely, but it is great to see their greenery in late winter.

There, I did find 6 interesting things to look at this week. Got me into the garden and chewed me up a bit. I hope it did that for you too. Thanks to those leaving comments on the blog. I do read them all, keep them coming. And do join in with #SixOnSaturday. All you need to do is find 6 things in your garden to show us. Then post on social, or add a link at Jim’s blog below. For regulars, our organiser is Jim at https://gardenruminations.co.uk/. And I’m on mastodon @julie3dharris@mastodon.scot
