Toiling in the garden

[callmemadam]

Last September I wrote here about the pots I’d filled with daffodils for spring. Alas, they’re all over and the pot garden, as I grandly call it, is bare except for some evergreens I’ve put there and the hosta, which is growing like mad. I spent some time this afternoon potting up so that I’ll have a new display this summer. The cuttings you see in the September post spent the winter on a bedroom windowsill, were moved into the greenhouse last month, then potted on when they’d hardened off a little. They’re flourishing; one more pot and they’re ready for the summer show. I was so successful with them that I shall have some spare geraniums for the borders; they make very good fillers.

It’s so nice that there are now new flowers out every day. The tree peony, which I wrote about here, has at least ten flowers open, with more buds to come. This pleases me.

Such a beautiful colour! I'm not posting or commenting and haven't since my hospital stay a few weeks ago. I hadn't been well since discharge and I have just been discharged after another 5 days of being in an A&E ward (severely unable to breathe) and am just about all fixed. Just wanted to let you know I haven't forgotten you. I must summon up the enthusiasm to post on DW and answer comments and posts but I'm still all at sixes and sevens and just managing to sort out routine daily tasks and get my head around hospital/GP appointments and medication changes. It's a bit overwhelming but at last there is a light at the end of the tunnel. xx

I'm so sorry you had to go back into hospital!
Thanks for letting me know what's going on. Just concentrate on getting better. I wish I lived near enough to come and see you. *healing thoughts winging your way*
