March
Mijn tuintje lijkt wel een moeras op dit moment. Het is hoog tijd om de
rozen te mesten en te snoeien. Maar het is bijna onmogelijk met droge
voeten de tuin te verlaten. Het is heerlijk om te zien dat de tuin weer
tot leven komt.
At the moment my backgarden looks like swamp. We had so much rain.
It's time to fertilize and prune the roses. But I have to wait because
I can't walk in my garden. But it's great to see the garden is coming
out of it's wintersleep.

Beautiful helleborus in your garden, Marijke! Picotee is so pretty, and I have some of them myself. I just love them!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI wish you a nice weekend!
Rosehugs, Marit
Hello Marit. The Picotee is a gorgeous one.But I find out that this Picotee does not grow the way like the darker ones are doing. It's still a very small perenial.
VerwijderenHave a wonderful weekend.
Rosehugs Marijke
Lente in zicht!!!!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenGelukkig wel!! Die donkere winter heeft al veel te lang geduurd.
VerwijderenHeerlijk weekend gewenst.
Happy gardening, Marijke !
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThank you so much Dani. It's time to prune the roses but to much water in the garden.
VerwijderenHappy gardening Dani.
Rosehugs Marijke
Wat duurt het lang he. Gelukkig geen zompige tuin voor mij. De rozen zijn gesnoeid, maar war is alles laat... kop op! Groetjes Hetty
BeantwoordenVerwijderenPff veel te lang Hetty. En dan die regen. Eens moeten die wolken toch leeg raken (lol).
VerwijderenHeerlijk weekend gewenst.
Rozengroetjes Marijke.
You have already beautiful spring flowers. For me only the snowdrops is shown. Regards.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenGoodmorning Giga, The snowdrops are already out of flower in my little garden. I think it's much colder in your country. I wish you a lovely springtime.
VerwijderenRosehugs Marijke
Dear Marijke, I am so happy for you that all the spring flowers are starting to bloom in your garden! I especially love iris reticulata and 'Katharine Hodgekin' is a particulary lovely variety. The hellebores 'Picote' is also very beautiful.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHope your garden dries out quickly, so that you can start to work in it. I am sure you will have so much fun!
Here we had torrential rains on the last weekend, but I am so behind with the spring garden shores, that I worked in the garden on Monday anyways. I probably do have compacted the soil in the area where I was working, but I tried to loosen it up with a fork with long handle afterword. Hoped it helped somewhat!
Warm regards,
Christina
Thank you so much for your lovely comment Christina. It's great for you to have some rain. Overhere it's really to much. But today looks promessing. So hopefully I can go out and start pruning my roses. I think you did a great job by giving your soil some air. Compost also helps to make the gardensoil better. I am gardening on fat clay wich is not easy for the plants an roses growing in my garden. I hope we get some sunshine today. I keep my fingers crossed.
VerwijderenHave a lovely weekend Christina
Warm wishes and rosehugs Marijke
Wat heb je prachtige Helleborussen! Die willen hier jammer genoeg niet.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenTe hopen dat het nu wat droger én wat warmer gaat worden.
Hartelijke groet, Zem.
De Helleborus is echt een pracht plant. Wat jammer dat ze het bij jou niet doen. Ik had anders verwacht.
VerwijderenWat ik zo graag zou willen is dat het Wildemanskruid niet wil bij mij. Heb ze diverse malen geplant maar komen nooit terug.
En inderdaad maar hopen dat die donkere luchten nu maar eens voor bij zijn en de zon zich weer eens laat zien.
Heerlijke weekend gewenst Zem en hartelijke groetjes van mij.
It is so frustrating when you are unable to get out into the garden due to the weather. We too, here in the uk, have very wet, sticky soil at the moment, which just gets compacted if we walk on it. So much to do !
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYou have some lovely spring colour in your garden already.
It is frustrating Jane. Last weeks were all full of rain and strong winds overhere. And when I look outside into the garden I am getting nervous because there is so much to do outside. Hopefully the bad weather will be gone soon.
VerwijderenHappy gardening Jane. Rosehugs Marijke
Dat het erg nat is is minder fijn Marijke, toch heb je al weer mooie bloemen in je tuin.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenGroetjes Tinie
Er is zoveel te doen in mijn tuintje maar de enige manier om zonder vieze kleren en schoenen uit mijn tuintje te komen is om te gaan werken in de tuin op blote voeten en een korte broek. Maar ja beetje koud (lol). Laten we hopen dat het weer zich snel verbeterd. Als het eerst maar weer eens een dagje droog blijft.
VerwijderenEen heerlijk weekend gewenst Tinie.
Dear Marijke,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenthank you for sharing these beautiful pictures of your plants. Your pictures make me look forward to spring! How lovely that you iris reticulate already blooms. I planted some iris reticulate bulbs in autumn, but so far I only see some very small shoots coming out of the ground. I hope you will have better weather soon! I really understand how annoying it can be if you would like to garden but the weather makes it impossible.
Best wishes,
Lisa
Dear Lisa it's great to read you have the Iris recticulata also. Mine was in bloom because before the snow came in I bougth it in a pot but brought it into the garage because it was to cold to plant them in my garden. I forgot about them and two weeks ago I found the plastic bag with the pots in the garage. They are in the soil now and I hope they survive. I hope the weather get's better soon. We are still having rain every day and we miss the light that the sun is bringing. I wish you a beautiful week ahead dear friend. xxxx
VerwijderenRosehugs Marijke
Dear Marijke,
VerwijderenI am sure your iris reticulata will survive! I also bought some in pots and they bloomed inside my home. I have not planted them outside yet, because the ground was frozen. However, it is warmer now and I will plant them out soon. Regarding the iris reticulata in my garden, the shoots are bigger now, but I think it will still take some weeks before it blooms. I hope you will have a lot of sunshine soon! Thanks for the rosehugs! I can´t wait for the rose season to start! xxxx
Best wishes,
Lisa
het ziet er paradijselijk uit Marijke,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenzo nat is he dan nog niet :-)
prachtige helleborussen
It surely looks like spring is beginning to arrive in your part of the world, Marijke!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenAnd it is doing so just beautifully.
My Hellebores have buds, but it is quite stuck with some very cold weather.
I am sure that it will be fine, as it always is, and I cannot wait to see it bloom. :-)
Have a wonderful week, sweet friend!
