Post Comment Love 21 - 23 March

Hello there, and welcome back to this week’s #PoCoLo - a relaxed, friendly linky which I co-host with Suzanne, where you can link any blog post published in the last week. We know you’ll find some great posts to read, and maybe some new-to-you blogs too, so do pop over and visit some of the posts linked, comment and share some of that love.

Please don’t link up posts which are older as they will be removed from the linky, and if older posts are linked then please don’t feel that it’s necessary to comment on those. If you were here last week it was great to have you along, if you’re new here this week we’re pleased you’ve joined us.

We had a great evening in Newark last Friday hearing from the gardener Adam Frost about his garden and the songs that have inspired the design in different parts of it - and it made me think that this is something I’ve never thought about. I haven’t thought about it for my own garden too much since either if I’m honest, but it was an interesting insight into how designers ‘trick’ themselves into designing.

Maybe it’s something I’ll come back to and think more about as we progress our garden, who knows - but I am now kind of wondering what music would be right for the greenhouse planning post I’ve linked up this week!

Indoor growing is clearly a theme for me this week as my photo is from the beautiful conservatory at the Belton Estate, one of the closest National Trust properties close to us. We chose to visit on a glorious day, and it was great to be out in the sun and without a coat - but somehow the conservatory still pulled us in, and the 22.5 degree temperature was just as lovely as these flowering amaryllis. I need to find some space in my blog schedule to share more from our visit.

Have a good week.

I’m not the only one that’s enjoyed feeling the warmth of the sun, my garden is too. Not only have the daffodils sprung into life - and flower - but the nectarine/peach tree which has overwintered snuggled up to the wall at the back of our garden - has started to show its blossom. There’s hopefully more to come, and hopefully it won’t be caught out by the predicted drop in temperatures, but for the time being I’m relishing the little signs of spring.

Have a good week.

Hasn’t it been great to see the sun this week, and feel its warmth? And it seems that it may only be hanging around for a little while longer with temperatures set to dip again next week. Even so with the lighter mornings and lighter evenings it really does feel as if spring is on its way.

MOH is also talking about cutting the grass while it’s warmer, and I can always find some pottering to do in the garden though I think it still may be too early to catch up with cutting the lavender, but there’s always some weeding and tidying to be done isn’t there?

My photo this week is of one of the lanes in our village, and I loved catching the reflections of the trees in the muddy puddles. As you can see there was still some frosty ice on the grass verge - this spot doesn’t get much sun - but by the end of our walk (and with some unwanted fly tipping reported further down the lane - sigh) it was much, much warmer.

Whatever you’re up to, have a good week.
