Welcome to this week’s #PoCoLo - a friendly linky which I co-host with Suzanne, where you can link any 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 and share some of that love. If you were here last week it was great to have you along, if you’re new here this week we’re pleased you’re here.

With the weather being nicer last weekend we spent some time in our garden for the first time this year. Before we knew it our green bins were full and our gardening enthusiasm returned in an instance. Unfortunately over the winter we lost a plant or two, and with our enthusiasm reignited, some new plants were ordered.

I’ve learnt that our garden prefers woodland plants, and this week some hydrangeas and dogwoods have arrived. I also ordered some pink cistus which I know are drought-friendly plants, and which we see in gardens around us. The plants are currently lodging in the conservatory and I’m hopeful that the weather this weekend will be equally as good so we can get them into the garden.

There’s already a fair bit going on in our garden, bulbs are pushing through and the daffodils are trying to flower. But right now it’s the snowdrops that are having their time, and when they’re as gorgeous as this I’m not going to deny them.
