Perhaps I should call this bit of the website ‘Cat Watch’. But I couldn’t resist putting up this photo - I love the way that you can see the full shape of the lawn in this picture. I’m really pleased with the way the design turned out.

The garden is just starting to wake up and I should get off my backside and go and do some weeding. I planted a pack of six Hellebore plants in Oct 06 and after a very long wait they have finally flowered!

It would appear that we have our very own garden Robin. Happy Christmas!

It’s all been very quiet in the garden this autumn. Some mulch got put down, mainly to stop the cats digging up the new bulbs that we put in. And as I write this I am wincing slightly because there are still some that need to go in the ground and are currently malingering in the kitchen by the back door. Every time I get determined, we have another frost and I abandon ideas of digging. It would appear that I find it all too easy to procrastinate. Fair weather gardener me.

When I moved to Cambridge I brought with me several plants in pots, including a pot of Japanese Anemones that hadn’t flowered for four years. Last November I took them out, divided them into three and planted them out. And this year they flowered their hats off!
