Biennials seeds are germinating well. Not the prettiest picture but absolutely worth sowing to have flowers next May and June. These are seeds I sell on my website https://www.bellmeadowireland.com/seedsandgarden

Snowdrops have slowly multiplied in the grass over the last few years. Not a carpet yet but I leave that to the narcissus 😁

Hellebore Season is beginning.

Bearded Iris, another of my favourite blooms. I'm working on establishing a bed of them that will hopefully spread and multiply as nature allows. Last year I visited a home that had a well established bed of them, you couldn't see the soil for the rhizomes. 💐 Maria

Good morning! Maria here from . Today started with cutting flowers for a couple of local deliveries. These come through my website. While the flowers are conditioning, I've been doing computer work. Even though we flower farmers get to spend a lot of time outside there's also computer time, working on things like answering emails, updating websites, accounts etc. Next up is continuing weeding an area I started on yesterday. No day is the same!
