While I was photographing in the garden Titus emerged from the border and posed in a way that made it clear he required to be photographed. I’ve heard rumours that cats are inordinately popular on the internet, so here you go.
It won’t be long until the Chelsea Flower Show 2012 and here’s a brief look at what is in store from Tom Hoblyn.
Within a week we’ve gone from warm sunshine where I gardened in a short sleeve t-shirt and watched butterflies and bumble bees to gales, torrential downpours and even a hail storm that left the garden battered and mulched with hail. Aah, the English climate!
In the garden: I’ve been going round dealing with anything that might be vulnerable to the cold and snow. The cold frame is closed tight with a layer of fleece over the plants, the outdoor lemon is now tucked up in a protective coat and, very importantly, the mains feed to the outdoor tap has been turned off and the tap fully opened to prevent a burst pipe scenario. On a more decorative note, the early hellebore flowers I spotted a couple of weeks ago are showing colour.
In the garden: I spotted the first hellebore buds this week and all over the garden the tips of bulbs are beginning to push through the soil.
