You can never have enough...

I was very naughty and jumped on NZ Bulbs tulip truck mishap sale, 40% off 25 double lavendar, double purple, and single pinks tulip bulbs that literally fell off the trick and got all mixed up. Got in before they sold out too, so that's a big treat arriving once they've packed and posted. Then I'll put all the tulips in the fridge together and plant them out in early May with something nice on top, lobelia perhaps, or alyssum again. They will be stunning mixed in with my oranges and magentas from last year, everyone loved those, they were just so outrageously pretty. And the big golden daff bulbs arrived alongside the little blue muscari, so I went out in the drizzle and gathered up all the terracotta pots to get rain cleaned and soaked. I'll get the local to deliver some strawberry mix and some bulb food tomorrow evening, and start planting up later in the week. My strawbs have made so many runners - and are still giving me the tastiest berries, so I have decided to let them occupy one whole raised garden pot thingamie all to thenselves. It should be an ongoing supply of breakfast yummies from mid winter on, if I have relocated that garden thing to the right spot, sunny but sheltered. I shall collect winter leaves to make my own strawberry mulch. And the hedge hoglet we found in the garden yesterday will still be on snail and slug duty if I have my way, I topped up the cats water dish so at least it has that to sip from.

And my totally neglected japanese anenomes have flower buds. My garden knows when I need rewarding, lol. And I'm sorry km, we are still looking out at drizzle, it has been patchy but coming down all day. I have a doc apptmt tomorrow so hoping for a few dry scoot breaks, but the forecast is depressing. We will see...
