The weather has been very kind to us in the past few weeks and it has been perfect for clearing out the garden before winter. Trave has removed a big tree and a bush which were at the far left corner at the bottom of the lawn, which we will convert to an additional vegetable patch. He has also mowed the lawn probably for the last time this year, and trimmed the hedges.
The only things left growing in the garden are the raspberries, the apple, and the purple sprouting broccoli which should be ready to harvest in March.
For my part, I have weeded the front border and planted various bulbs which should flower at different times between February and August: snowdrops, crocuses, tulips, irises, anemones, and alliums. They should be sprouting amongst a grassy type plant, a yellow rose bush, a lupin, and two heathers. Let's hope it looks pretty and colourful!
