“Springtime is the land awakening. The March winds are the morning yawn… And crocus fires are kindling one by one.” I’m not sure all the recent winds could be described as a yawn (!) but gardening in March is always a pleasure nonetheless. Spring is definitely here and everything seems to be waking up properly. Like the gorgeous crocuses in this blog’s cover picture – aren’t they beautiful? And they’re not the only colour to enjoy right now. So then, what gardening can you do in March?

What to do in the garden in March
As I’ve said previously, my monthly garden updates only relate to our garden and orchard in the South West of England. So if you’re looking for ideas for say, gardening in March in Zone 6 (US gardeners) or gardening in March in Australia, this post may not be a whole lot of use. That said, I hope my March gardening tips will still be of interest regardless .
Spring flowering plants in March
Yellow is definitely the colour of Spring gardening, like the English poet Wordsworth, I feel positively Romantic. We have masses of daffodils coming out in our orchard and hundreds of cheerful little tete-a-tetes crammed into pots and bare patches of ground. Cheap to buy and easy to grow if you’re looking for ideas on what flowers are best to plant in March, just look at these glorious bursts of sunshine. My spirits are lifted every time I look out the window.
Other spring flowers appearing like splashes of paint on the grass are these pretty little blue and pink chionodoxas. Another set of easy to grow and zero maintenance spring bulbs which I planted several years ago, and have naturalised very happily in our lawn and orchard. You need remember to plant them in Autumn for spring flowering, and I’ll be ordering some more later this year, to bulk up a few bare patches.
Two of my favourite spring flowering shrubs have started to show their colours already. On the left is the Pulmonaria Raspberry Splash, and on the right is Brunnera Macrophylla Jack Frost (also known as Siberian Bugloss) with its silvery leaves off setting the delicate blue flowers. Both are low growing perennials that are happy in shade and, once established, need absolutely no looking after. Fun fact: Pulmonaria, also known as Lungwort, is used in herbal remedies to treat conditions like pneumonia or tuberculosis, although there’s no scientific proof it really works.
I mentioned primroses and primulas last month and I think these are still among the best flowers to plant in March too. Fortunately, as garden centres are still open, you’ve got plenty of opportunities to take your pick of what’s for sale right now, in all colours, shapes and sizes. The pale yellow ones on the left are wild primroses that have naturalised throughout our orchard, especially under the fruit trees. And the vibrant purple ones on the right were a bargain garden centre buy some years ago. I practice what I preach 🙂
What to do in the vegetable garden in March
If you’re a home grown potato fan* and got ahead with chitting your tubers last month, now is the time to plant them out for a harvest later this summer. And you may recall from my February gardening post, I’d prepared two of our vegetable beds ready for Spring. So, aside from potatoes, what vegetables can you plant in March?
When you’re talking about seeds to sow in March outdoors, I have two words: broad beans. Not much to see as yet but I’ve sown some sweet and tender Robin Hood broad beads* and some pretty Crimson Flowered broad beads* that are both ornamental and edible. As well as the three sprouting bean plants from Flora’s recent Letterbox Lab Waste of Space science subscription box. Yum, yum, I hope…
Other vegetables to plant in March (or seeds to sow indoors) are our favourite ‘Rainbow Blend’ F1 Hybrid tomatoes* (sweet, colourful and perfect for lunch boxes). And some equally delicious Burpless Tasty Green cucumbers* (don’t you just LOVE the name!). Oh yes, it’s that time of year when all our window sills get taken over with my seed trays…
Gardening jobs in March
First up on the March gardening to do list was to clean the greenhouse (a carry forward from February). And I’m delighted to report I took advantage of one of the MANY rainy days to finally achieve this both inside and out. Which then enabled me to make a start on sorting out all my seeds for things to grow in March.
So, over in the greenhouse I’ve sown lots of seeds for some annual summer flowers later this year (hopefully). This year I’m trialling Rudbeckia Cherry Brandy* (they look a little like burgundy sunflowers but shorter), Claret Sunflowers* and some yellow Russian Giant Sunflowers left over from one of Flora’s previous Mud and Bloom boxes. And some of my favourite fragrant purple Petunias* (great in pots or as climbers) as are these new bright pink Nasturtiums* that are both colourful and edible.
I also finally got around to sowing some fragrant Sweet Peas* (quite late, I know but fingers crossed they’ll grow fast now it’s lighter and warmer). And one of my favourite prolific climbers, the purple Cobea Scandens vine* (aka the cup and saucer plant due to the shape of the flowers). Last but not least, two of my beloved cosmos plants, Cosmos Lemonade* and Cosmos Dazzler*.
Another carry forward from last month, thanks to all the inclement weather, is the hard pruning of both our rampant Buddleias before I have to call in the Network Rail plant removal experts to deal with them… Although I have managed to deal with all of our roses, to get them ready for Spring. As you can see, I pruned just above a new bud, and this has encouraged new growth for a great flush of healthy flowers in due course.
Other gardening in March jobs include top dressing all our pots with fresh compost. Sounds very glamorous but all it means is scraping out the top 6 inches of old soil and adding new compost for the growing season ahead. And Alan has made the first grass cut of the year, with the blades on a high setting so as not to shock the grass. Monty Don (Gardeners’ World) is campaigning for lawns to be left wild and free, but I think we do enough for wildlife in our garden already so it’s a big No to that suggestion.
And now that our snowdrops are over (can you see the clump of green leaves behind the silver birch trunk?) I’m going to lift, divide and replant these overgrown clumps of perennials. Planting snowdrops “in the green” is an easy and free way of increasing your plants. All you do is dig up a clump, split it into smaller clumps of 3-5 plants, plant one clump back in the original spot, and replant the others elsewhere.
Wildlife gardening jobs for March
Monty Don notwithstanding, one of the best spring gardening tips I can offer you is to look after the wildlife. When you’re looking for things to grow in March, try and include as many early flowering plants as possible, like these hellebores, to give the bees some early nectar.
And gardening in March wouldn’t be complete without a reminder to keep all your bird feeders topped up with quality bird seed* every day. And if you can, why not treat our feathered friends to some high energy fat balls* as well, to help them build up their reserves ahead of the nesting season.
Despite all the wind and the rain, and a few cold snaps, our frogs have laid masses of frogspawn already. And to stop me having to return the all frogs that Loki brings into the house, we’ve had to invest in these these cat scaring devices from Amazon*. So far, so good, we’ll just have to remember to keep changing the batteries.
But the really good news is that we’ve also got frogs in our main wildlife pond that Alan created last year. How they’ll get on with the resident goldfish we don’t know. But at least it’s harder for Loki to catch them from here 🙂
So that means we can’t get a pond pump for this pond now because it’s got some frogspawn in it already too! We’ll just have to buy lots more oxygenating plants to help clear the water* in due course and hope for the best. And the eagle eyed among my regular readers may spot that we’ve moved the bench and skeleton from underneath the tree in the background. Again, thanks to Loki, who was using the bench to jump into the trees after the birds. So the bench is now at the front of the house (which gets plenty of sun in the afternoon) and the skeleton is temporarily homeless. Watch this space…
Gardening in March – a summary
Once again, Google was my go to when I started writing this monthly garden update. Some of the questions people were asking included:
- What should I do this month in the garden?
- What can I plant in the garden in March?
- What should I do in my garden in March?
I hope I’ve been able to furnish some answers, as well as share some of my favourite gardening tips for March. Even if they might not be applicable to all gardens at this time of year. As always, I’d love to know if you’ve enjoyed your virtual visit to our garden and orchard. And, even better, please let me know if I’ve inspired you to get sowing and growing now too 🙂
Are you growing or planting anything this month, either indoors or outside? Are there any particular March garden questions you’d like more detailed answers on? What’s your favourite thing about gardening in March?

Nikki - Notes of Life says
It looks like you’ve got so much more going on in your garden at the moment than we have in ours. However, I did get some snowdrops from a fellow NGS volunteer to plant ready for next year. I just need to get them planted now!
Our garden centres and nurseries haven’t been able to open during lockdown here in Wales, but they’re finally allowed to open from tomorrow, so I might take a trip to see what they’ve got.
Lisa says
We’ve been very lucky in England that the garden centres stayed open, I’d forgotten about Wales 🙁 Yes, the snowdrops are top of my priority list this month, before it’s too late!
Gemma Jayne says
Some great tips! I really want to get some bird feeders for the garden, and I would love to grow some vegetables. I have been looking into which ones I could start with etc, and I might try this year!
Also we have so many beautiful daffodils that have come up in our front garden and in our back garden, and I love it. I just love seeing all the colours and Spring is just beautiful! Great post xx
Lisa says
Thank you – we love watching all the birds on the feeders, we have lots of varieties who visit! And good luck with growing vegetables, my veg game isn’t the best but I’m always keen to try 🙂 x
Antonia says
Your garden looks so colorful and beautiful. Spring definitely does bring the best in nature. My family garden is also starting to show its full beauty.
Antonia || Sweet Passions
Lisa says
Thank you so much – yes, Spring is a wonderful time for gardens.
Castlesandturrets says
This time of year is always my favourite! We’ve got hundreds of daffodils in the garden, and they’ve all just come out in bloom this last week. It’s so pretty when I look outside! I loved reading this post though, I did laugh though when you mentioned Loki – I’ve got a cat called Loki as well, and he’s a right pain with the frogs. Luckily the pond is a bit further away from the house, but he’s determined! I really enjoyed seeing your garden virtually, thank you for sharing 😀
Lisa says
Oh wow, it must be something to do with the name Loki, haha, how funny! Your daffodils sound lovely, I’m aiming for larger swathes next year (much to my husband’s dismay) – and thank you, I’m so pleased you enjoyed your visit 🙂
Claire Lomax says
I swear I have only just read February’s post! Where does the month go??
I adore daffodils, they are so simple but they emanate happiness! I always bought my Mum them when I visited as they are so cheerful and that bright yellow just pops so much.
I look forward to seeing how you get on with your frogs, Dads new wildlife pond is still a work in progress but the kids are constantly checking for frogspawn!
Beautiful as ever Lisa x x
Lisa says
I know, it’s going far too fast! You’re like me, I always took my mum yellow daffodils or yellow tulips for the exact same reason. And that’s great to hear about your Dad’s new pond – I’m sure the frogs will come, if not this year then next time! xxx
Katy Stephenson says
I really enjoy getting out in the garden – I must get it from my mum as she’s a gardener – so I really loved reading this post!

Lisa says
Thank you, I’m so glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Karalee Shotola says
That’s amazing the daffodils & so many other flowers are coming out! In Denmark it’s still too cold for them 😥 the other weekend my partner’s mother & my daughter did some cleaning in her garden, but that’s pretty much it. Also that’s funny the bench skeleton is homeless now
Lisa says
Ah, our skeleton won’t be homeless for long, he’s too much a part of our garden! Fingers crossed the weather warms up in Denmark for you soon x
Rosie Ireland says
I love this time of year in my garden. Seeing everything come back to life is great. Your pond is massive and I LOVE your daffodils – the epitome of Spring!
Rosie
Lisa says
Thank you, we are loving all our daffodils too, more opening each day!
Fadima Mooneira says
Wow……your garden looks really beautiful in March. Spring is here! Good time for gardening! Again, thank you for taking me on a virtual tour. I always love your garden.
Lisa says
Thank you, Fadima, and yes, you’re right, Spring is a great time for gardening!
Cristina Rosano says
I really enjoy reading these posts and will surely give my hand at gardening when we will have space! For now, pots will have to make do, we really need to start planting tomatoes, last year they were a hit! Love all the flowers you have there, I had seen the chionodaxas around but never knew their name! Your daffodils look great too, thanks for sharing x
Lisa says
Pots are great though, you can move them around according to what the plants need and where you want them 🙂 Good luck with your planting plans this year! x
Jenni @ I on Image says
Such a lovely post again Lisa! My kids have planted vegetables at school and now they want to plant more at home. I am curious if my huge mint plant from last year made it to 2021 🙂
Lisa says
Thank you, Jenni – and yes, I’m sure your mint will pull through, they’re pretty impossible to wipe out! 🙂
Amanda says
Just bought a bird feeder the other day! I will have to put it by my mini garden when I get it out together. I love your garden posts! Thanks for sharing with us all
Lisa says
Yay, that’s great to hear – and thank you!
Giulia says
This is why I want to live in England! Nothing is growing here yet, and I love the flowers and greenery so much! Thank you for sharing Lisa, a delight as always.
Lisa says
Ah, well, we do get a LOT of rain, so swings and roundabouts! Thank you so much though 🙂
Anca says
You have loads of seeds to plant. I’ve planted some bulbs this month and I know I can’t plant more in the raised beds, as it would be too much. Also, I love the daffodils. I should have planted a few, but didn’t think of that.
I got some edible flowers seeds to plant, but I think it would be better to wait for this weekend, so the weather is a bit warmer.
Lisa says
I know, so many seeds! As regards bulbs in your beds, what about successional planting (no such think as too much)? Good ideas about your edible flowers, unless you start them off indoors 🙂
Anca says
Sounds really good, but I’m more of a hands-off approach, as I don’t have time and, even more, the knowledge to do anything like that. I love growing edible flowers and I got some new ones this year too. 🙂
Lisa says
I know what you mean, haha. I want to grow some more edible flowers this year too, they’re so pretty and so useful 🙂
Jessica Khater says
I absolutely love gardening. I recently moved to a house with a small garden and was just waiting for spring to fill it with colors. Thank you for the ideas. I will definitely try out some of them.
Lisa says
You are so welcome, always happy to get positive feedback from a fellow gardener!
Lucy says
Oh daffodils are my favourite (being from Wales they would be!) , I love all of the other flowers that have grown in your garden Lisa! x

Lisa says
That’s very loyal of you, Lucy, and thank you very much! X
Caroline says
I love reading your posts because when I get a garden next year, I can’t wait to plant lots of veg & flowers! My parents have a greenhouse in the garden at home & plant plenty there but really excited to do it myself. We had lots of Burpless Cucumbers last year and they were so tasty. Cucumbers & broad beans are my absolute favourite veg that we plant 🙂 I also enjoy having sweet peas just outside the back door – I take so many pictures & have some in a vase in my room. Such joy xx
Lisa says
Oh thank you so much, Caroline, that’s so wonderful to hear. Glad to find a fellow Burpless fan, they really do live up to their name, don’t they?! And yes to sweet peas, you only need a few to scent the whole room, such beautiful flowers 🙂 xx
BR says
I love your gardening post. Thanks for sharing
I love gardening. I would try some of the tips.
Great post 🥳

Eleanor Jones says
To be honest I don’t know a lot about gardening- but I love reading your monthly updates and I think it’s so admirable to see how you’re growing your garden. Thank you for sharing, from now on hopefully there will be even more colour in your garden as we get to spring!
Lisa says
Ah, thank you so much – to be honest I had no clue when I started either, I’m entirely self-taught, but luckily Nature is very forgiving 🙂
Jaya Avendel says
Oh yes, things start to HAPPEN in March! It starts to feel like Spring!
Our purple and yellow crocuses have flowered right outside our front door. It is so nice to have some bright flowers greeting us every day and welcoming us home. Our daffodils have not yet opened but I love your lawn of yellow blooms!
We started out plant light in our basement a few weeks ago and are preparing the garden for planting in the lovely fresh air. Spring is a time to feel optimistic and plant those seeds you wish to see grow over the year. 🙂
Lisa says
It really does – and I’m glad it’s Spring over the pond as well. Lucky you to have crocuses outside your front door, what a wonderful welcome every time you come home 🙂
Della Driscoll says
I love reading through your gardening posts! Spring is a lovely time for gardening as everything starts to bloom – I love seeing all your pics x
Lisa says
Thank you so much, that’s lovely to hear 🙂
Fransic Verso says
You have an amazing garden, Liza. The yellow color is my favorite haha. And pictures you take are clear and enjoy looking at them. Thank you for sharing! And you added a pond! How exciting!!
Lisa says
Thank you so much, Frank, that’s very kind – and yes, our pond, exciting times!
Jenny in Neverland says
Lovely post, as always Lisa! My Mum and I have been buying a lot of plants and new pots and things at the moment as we’ve just had a new patio put in, it’s a lovely big space that we want to make look pretty. I also bought some pansies for outside my office doors – they’re so cute! I love all the blues and purples in this post and in flowers in general. I think they’re my favourite colour flowers, always so striking xxx
Lisa says
Ah, that sounds so exciting, and perfect timing for Spring/Summer. You should buy LOTS of pansies then because they’re edible too, so perfect for salads, desserts and to be frozen in ice cubes 🙂 xxx
Jodie | That Happy Reader says
I always look forward to your gardening posts Lisa! Spring is such an exciting, but busy, time for those of us who garden but there is nothing like seeing the new growth that comes with this season. Your garden is lovely and inspirational! Thanks for sharing.
Lisa says
Ah, thank you so much, Jodie, that’s so kind – I’m very pleased you enjoyed the post!
Je says
This year I planted some potatoes and cucumbers for the first time and it gladdens my gardener’s soul to see them show some promise.
Those Nasturtiums are also on my to-plant list. I didn’t realize they also came in bright pink!
Thanks Lisa for sharing such a lovely and informative post. I’ll try to put some of this knowledge to good use. Touch wood.
Lisa says
Thank you so much for your lovely comment, Je – and I thought nasturtiums only came in orange too, so I’m very excited to see how these hot pink ones do. Good luck with your garden this year x
lifestyleseason says
Lovely post! Thank you for sharing this! The photos are great and I love the daffodils! Spring is amazing because I love seeing flowers blooming! I like how you’ve planted some veg as well!
Lisa says
Thank you so much, I’m so glad you enjoyed the post 🙂
Under Flowery Sky says
So colourful and lovely, you only miss hyacinth and forsythia.
Lisa says
Thank you – and since this post was written, both have started flowering in earnest!
Riana Ang-Canning says
What a beautiful garden update! It’s so nice to see the blooms coming through and I love all the colours. Cool that you’ve got a bird feeder going too! We live in an apartment so not much gardening here, but I like the idea of putting up a bird feeder.
Lisa says
Thank you very much! There’s a lot you can grow indoors, even in an apartment, you just need some window ledges for herbs, chillies, edible flowers, or you could try hanging baskets for tomatoes/strawberries. I wrote a post about it here: https://www.lisasnotebook.com/11-easy-and-delicious-edible-plants-to-grow-indoors 🙂
A Cup of Wonderland says
I love your Garden Update blogs Lisa! It makes me incredibly excited for the day I have my own garden so I can do everything that you’re doing with yours. Also yay for Frogs! I hope that they get on well with the goldfish!
Lisa says
Thank you so much, Hannah, that’s very kind – and yes, I’m a little nervous for all the tadpoles when they hatch, I just hope they’re good at hiding!
Ira says
Loved this post! It is incredibly refreshing to gardening – and these days I’m interested with ferns!!! Thank you for sharing this Lisa
Lisa says
Ooooh ferns, how exciting, we have a few in our woodland area, I love them!
Kelly says
Your garden is visually stunning Lisa, It’s so bright and colourful which is perfect for the new season. I love your patch of Daffodils. Your pond is also beautiful, you have a gorgeous garden!
Lisa says
Thank you very much, Kelly, we are very lucky with our garden!
Rachael says
Fab post! We have been working hard on our garden & pots this month, can’t wait for everything to start growing xx
Lisa says
It’s such an exciting time, isn’t it? New life, whoop!
Ruth| Ruthiee loves Glamour says
Oh wow! yet another garden post. Your garden posts are always fab and spot on. I love spring so much and I love how nature blossoms during spring. I love daffodils. They are so beautiful…. The idea of a bird feeder is amazing. You always give me massive garden goals Lisa. Lovely post xx
Lisa says
Ah, thank you so much, Ruth, that’s so wonderful to hear! x
Corinne says
I love daffodils! I’ve never thought about planting my own but might do it next Autumn!
Your garden is lovely 🙂
Corinne x
Lisa says
Oh do it, do it, come next Spring you’ll be soooooo happy you did – and thank you! x
Stephanie says
Every time I read one of your posts, I wish I had my own home with space to garden. Living in a townhome, I only have a tiny slab of concrete in the back of my house – not quite the ideal gardening location haha. But my sister and brother-in-law live on a farm and they’re doing all their seasonal gardening right now 🙂 It’s fun to see the process in action!
Lisa says
Ah thank you, and I can empathise, I lived in a first floor flat for 15 years. But there’s a lot you can do with pots for your slab, and the bonus is you can take them with you when you go!
Lauren says
Your garden is already looking so colourful for Spring. Your garden looks so pretty and calming. It must be lovely in warmer weather. Thank you for sharing all the different flowers you have growing.
Lauren http://www.bournemouthgirl.com
Lisa says
We are very lucky with all the colour, it’s just exploded in the last few days 🙂
Cora @ TeaPartyPrincess says
We got our roses sorted this month! Pruned them right down.
It’s lovely to see the bulbs starting to come up and give us some colour 🙂
Cora | https://www.teapartyprincess.co.uk/
Lisa says
It feels so good to get on top of things like this, doesn’t it? And to be able to appreciate the flowers!
Sarah says
I love seeing that burst of growth and color in the spring. Seeing your garden like this has me so much more excited about my own garden – which is still semi-buried in snow but we are slowly getting closer to the point where I can plant some stuff. I’m so excited to see the progress on the various flowers and vegetables you have growing this year. Your pond area looks fantastic. I would love to add a pond at some point but I think we would need to live somewhere a bit warmer before that happens.
Lisa says
It’s such a welcome wake up call, isn’t it? Ah, that’s a lovely thing to say, Sarah, thank you so much – I hope you can build a pond at some point, even if it’s only a small one!
Amie says
Daffodils are absolutely beautiful, I am taking so much inspiration from your garden for plants I need to put in mine!

Alice Spake says
Ah it’s so colourful! I can’t wait to see our garden come alive – we’ve planted a few bits but I’m a total newbie so keeping my fingers crossed it goes well xx
Lisa says
Oh that’s so exciting! Really you can’t go wrong with bulbs, they’re so easy and reliable – can’t wait to see your pictures in due course 🙂 x
Samantha says
I love all of the daffodils! Your garden is so beautiful! I love the planter boxes that you planted your seeds in as well! It looks so clean and organized! I still need to clear out my planters from last year. Waiting for a sunny day to do it! Thank you for sharing! 🙂
Lisa says
Ha, well, thank you for saying our garden looks organised – I’m obviously more creative with my photographs than I realised! 🙂
Sumedha says
Your garden looks so good, Lisa! I love the beautiful flowers, especially Pulmonaria. One day, when I have my own garden, I’m definitely coming back and reading through all of your posts. They’re so helpful.
Lisa says
Thank you so much, Sumedha, that’s very kind, I’m so pleased you find these gardening posts helpful!
Alice says
Cannot wait to make my garden all pretty with flowers again! Love this💕
Lisa says
Thank you – and happy gardening 🙂
Lise says
I absolutely love gardening so this post was perfect for me! I’ll have to invest in some veggie seeds to grow, at least. Thank you for sharing x
Lisa says
Oh that’s great to hear, good luck with your veg growing this year then! x
Mark Crone says
Too early to grow here in Toronto, Canada but I love your what you have done already and your plans. I’m definitely motivated to get out and tend to my garden in a few weeks time. Thanks for sharing,
Lisa says
Ah, thank you, that’s very kind – I hope the weather improves soon or at least before you lose your motivation!
Crazy About Writing says
Some great tips, thanks for sharing! I was literally wondering the other day what to do with our front garden ❤
Lisa says
Thank you, you’re welcome, glad it was helpful!
Teresa Maria says
So much colour in your garden! Absolutely gorgeous. And I love your passion for your garden, nature really is the best recipient of our energy and efforts because it most often rewards us big time. Good luck with your vegetable growing projects!

Thank you so much, I’m glad my enthusiasm comes through! And yes, keeping my fingers crossed for my plant babies right now 🙂
Monique says
Look at the different flowers and plants you have in your garden! Colorful and beautiful. I’ve always wanted to plant with my mom but we don’t have the lawn and much knowledge I guess. Your plants can really sell here in the Philippines. Thank you for sharing this! I admire your dedication, Lisa.
Lisa says
Ah, thank you so much, Monique, that’s so kind of you. I don’t know if you have a window ledge but if you do there’s a lot you can grow in pots or even indoors!
Lindsey says
I love that the daffodils are out! We always call them smiling faces in our house because it’s just impossible not to smile when you see those bursts of colour. I’ve also been really enjoying watching the birds – there’s a blue tit starting to explore the new nest box which is exciting. Great post as always – I love reading these!
Lisa says
Smiling faces, that’s so lovely! And how exciting about the blue tit, I’m really very envious 🙂
Nic | Nic's Adventures & Bakes says
Thanks for sharing what has been going on in your garden this past month, I love when the crocuses come out, the purple is so lovely, so are the yellow of the daffodils too. I think my patio jobs are to just tidy up all the time and cut back the plants I have forgotten to do before the winter, I do hope to get some new plants soon 🙂
Lisa says
I love the crocuses so much, they’re so vibrant, a real zing of Spring freshness. And I hope you get some plants too – look forward to seeing them in due course!
Em says
Your garden looks so beautiful and colourful! I’m more of an indoor plant person, but like yours they all seem to be coming to life at the moment after some very slow growth over the winter period. Although a few had ripped open the bottom of their pots with some pretty insane root growth, so hopefully that means lots of new leaves now that they’ve been upgraded to bigger homes and a sunny spot!
I can’t wait to see what else pops up in your garden now that the weather is getting warmer!
Em x
Lisa says
Thank you so much, Em! Yes, plants are pretty tough where their roots are concerned, I’m sure yours will be just fine – and I envy you, my indoor houseplant game is pants, I’m much better outside! x
