Tiptoe through the bluebells.

I read somewhere this week that we have more than half the bluebell woods in the world. I have no idea if this is true or not, but this year is a vintage year for them.  Frank is still with us and he is enjoying them too.





I have been spending time transplanting into my new raised flower bed. This is what it was like when I had only
a few bags left to go.

And now I have run out of energy but there is only the planting of the annuals left. Each of those bags was a 1/4 of a cubic metre and all the soil/compost had to be redistributed round the garden. Four or five wheel barrow loads per bag, and there were 14 of them. I have awarded myself a medal.

  2. So enjoyable once established, so much work to get it there. Nice to have the ready-made bluebell fields nearby!

  3. Youre garden is lovely and the pictures of Frank priceless. Having visited England during bluebell season, I can recall their wonderful delicate scent--still have a tiny bit of bluebell cream in a lttle blue jar! Tiptoe in deed-thank you for the lovely tour.
