The cold snap has gone, we’re expecting dangerous winds tomorrow. There’s not much incentive to get into the garden. But I struggled out to find six lovely things. here’s my #SixOnSaturday.
The first is a bit of a cheat. Some daffs seemed to be coming up a bit quickly, so I moved the pot into the greenhouse. Here’s a cute little January daffodil.
On a bright, sunny afternoon, the light caught the structure in a twisty hazel tree.
I’ve been pleased to see some signs of spring. Furry magnolia buds are coming.
Sempervivum, I’m never sure what they are for, but on a cold winter windowsill, they do at least look to be thriving, hanging in there waiting for less harsh days.
I have a witch hazel hiding in a shady corner. We really must be approaching the lighter days, it is just about to flower.
Last, but not least, something green. Somehow, parsley seems to be surviving the winter storms.
That’s my #SixOnSaturday for this week. Join the sixes on Mastodon or other instances in the Fediverse via #SixOnSaturday, we need a few more folk to toot on the topic: come join us. 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/. Also on the former birdsite, for those who must: @JamesLStephens. And I’m on mastodon @julie3dharris@mastodon.scot
My favourite is the twisty hazel tree. Love this tree !
Do you have any nuts? Are they as tasty as common hazelnuts?
Ah, you asked about nuts — never get them when ripe — but we have several cute red squirrels, I think they take them all as soon as they get close to ripe!
