Daffodils

The crocuses are about finished their show. Now the daffodils are beginning to open. A cheery sight when the sky is overcast and gray. The little blue anemones are in bloom also. I must make a bed somewhere with the blue as the carpet and the daffodils higher in the sea of blue. The bed along beside the gargage would be a good place to pop in a few daffodils. The tulips from that area seem to need rejuvenation anyway. The tulips do not bloom the same time as the anemones, so I shall add a few daffs there. And perhaps get a few anemones for along the driveway where the daffs are currently.

Himself cut up the trees for firewood. I swept up the patio area and we put the twigs,l sawdust etc. onto the rhodos. I then washed down the patio area. By the time I finished it was beginning to rain so that was the end of the gardening for the day. This area looks good, now. The moss is still growing but I kinda like this moss rather than the plain of textured concrete. The moss also extends up the path that goes around the garage. It adds a patina to the garden, making it look established and old... which it is. This part of the garden was started in 1988, so 20 years old.

The water garden looks good filled up. It is not losing any water and there were 3 fish visible in a quick look at it.
