We've started to get our garden straight... but it does still look winter weary. (That's a nice way of saying, it looks a mess.) Our front garden is an odd shape so we do very little to it. We have these tubs right outside our front door. These are our winter ones, the Wall flowers are still to flower.

.... in front of the front door. We planted 350 bulbs three years ago and they have increased.

So always a nice show as we approach the bungalow, they're always lovely to see as we drive up.
Yesterday we were up and out for a coffee to our favourite coffee shop before10:00am. The sun was shining and then after lunch we started in the back garden! The grass hadn't been cut since beginning of October, it was long. But our super-duper power mower and Dh took the top off easily, so we can now start to get it back to look like lawn and not a field!
I sowed some more seeds, Cosmos, Sea holly, Dahlias, Asters, Tagettes, and Antirrhinums. All are in my seed containers on the middle bedroom window sill.
I take our gardening seriously and we always have colourful flower beds. We'll carry on now, two flower beds still to top dress and feed. I check the peach tree every day, we will have peaches this year, it has buds, so I'm delighted.
I admit I don't find it easy these days, but I do what I can, and supervise Dh doing the things I can't!
How are your gardens?

Your weather is about a month ahead of ours. My tulips and daffodils are just popping through the ground 🌷 Yours are so pretty.
Your diligence in the garden is rewarded with a pretty show of daffodils. I lost a few plants in the heat, frangipani is doing well it's hard to kill them even forgetting to water.
Chris, thank you for these lovely photos. Our winter is trying to ease off a bit. And these pictures really are cheerful. My daffodil leaves are up maybe one inch. But it's the beginning.
Still tons of snow here covering everything! How lovely that you can garden this early in the year!
Daffodils are so rewarding and undemanding and give cheer to everyone who sees them.
Lovely to see the border of daffodils!!
What lovely photos. Such a lovely blue sky too. Thanks you for brightening the day 💙
The soil here is still frozen solid, hoping some rain forecast for the next day or so will thaw it our a bit more. Nothing done in our gardens until May 24 weekend the unofficial start of gardening.
"winter weary" ... I like that phrase :)
Your daffodils look lovely.
All the best Jan
Isn't it lovely to see so many daffodils blooming now, they make me smile every time I pass a garden with a lovely display. Mine are looking good too this year, some came up 'blind' last year, but adding more compost to the bed and not disturbing them has worked wonders, thank goodness.
I have spring envy!
