2nd week of March

Het wordt hoog tijd om de rozen te gaan snoeien en bemesten. Altijd een moeilijke tijd voor mij en vooral nu. Na een zeer milde winter zit er al zoveel groen aan de rozen dat ik het moeilijk vindt om de schaar er in te zetten. De eerste die ik toch gesnoeid heb is A Shropshire Lad. Verder is het geen weer om aan de slag te gaan in de tuin, moet ik misschien een duikpak gaan kopen lol.

The time of rosepruning has come. Still a very difficult thing for me. After a very mild

winter the roses have a lot of new green already so difficult to cut them down. The first one

I´ve pruned is A Shropshire Lad. The weather is to bad to go outside. Maybe I should buy a diving suite to stay dry and warm lol.

Still a lot of to learn having a new camera. My lovely dog as a model

Last saturday finaly my dream came trough. Visiting the beautiful garden De Stekkentuin where 350 kinds of Helleborusses are blooming. Camera in the camerabag and off we went. But helas the

weather was to bad to make any photograph. Extreme rainfall and heavy storm where not the

ideal kind of weather to visit a garden. But many beautiful species where sold and ofcourse I

i could not resist to buy some new ones. So the trip was not for nothing. The new plants are still on the windowsill because of the weather. Day after day strong rainfall and very strong winds overhere since saturday. But better weather is forecasted after the weekend. The webside of the garden
