Garden Diary – It’s Christmas & we’re past the shortest day! Christmas festivities and we’ve celebrated the winter solstice. I think non of us can wait to get to the other side of the shortest day, and feel we are heading back towards summer.

Christmas can be as sad as it is happy, evoking memories of those we’ve loved & lost. But I wish you the best day possible & I hope it involves some yummy things to eat! πŸ˜‹
Catch you in a few days πŸͺ΄

Does anyone else grow living stones? Or Lithops to give them their proper name.
I grew this from seed around 3 or 4 years ago after seeing them on gardeners world. They said they were slow growing, well you ain’t kidding!!! Around 8mm across now πŸ₯± Patience my dear… #lithops #succulentsΒ #houseplants

This was the first year that I’ve grown dwarf tulips & I was really pleased with them. They’re in pots so I’m hoping they come again.
This is a species variety, Tulipa humilis 'Persian Pearl' 🌿🩷🌿
