happy easter



March has been a bitter month. So cold with harsh east winds and plummeting temperatures.

My garden is paying the price. The plants have wrapped themselves against the wind and only a few brave little souls have blossomed. We have lovely willow branches with their little furry buds, daffodils from bulbs planted late last year and a shamrock for March. A mellow yellow moodboard this time.

Our garden is a work in progress. We built and moved into our house just over three years ago so the garden is quite immature and more abundant in trees and hedging plants. We do have a lovely wildflower bank but it doesn't appear until later in the year.

As a result, I am a little envious of the beautiful blooms in Caroline and Polly's pictures. So I have fluttered my eyelashes at Mr F in the hope he will find some pretty flowering plants this year.

He is a landscape gardener so you would think I should be on to a winner.

Wishing you all a really lovely Easter and I hope that the sun shines on you all whatever you get up to.

  12. Your mood board is better than anything I could put together at the moment. I have ONE flower out ... snowdrops (white) and that's it. Grass is brown, neither trees nor flowering bushes even budding, snow flying around in the wind today ... brrrr. Yes, get your resident gardener to add to the garden for next spring! My son is getting interested in gardening more and more, and we wonder if he would like to get into this line of work as well :) Wendy

  16. Lovely garden mood board. It is calling out Spring to me so much that you wouldn't even know you are still having such cold temperatures. Lots of lovely yellow and I hope you see some lovely yellow sunshine to match soon. Mel x

  17. How sweet of you to say! But really our garden seems to look better on the mood board than in life! The blooms are few and far between and when I look out I tend to notice the gaps over the blossoms. Must be why I'm enjoying the project so much!

  18. I had the same problem ... in fact I could find nothing because of the snow and posted about my only mood board at the moment ... pics from previous April's washi taped to my studio walls!

    The hint of yellow here is enough to reassure me that spring will come :)
