Looking forward to Spring

This weekend I'm avoiding the November gloom by looking forward to Spring .  Not that I'm wishing my life away, its just that this has to be the most depressing time of the year in the garden so I've cheered myself up by filling some pots with spring and summer bulbs. 

So far I've planted a large pot of the stunning Allium 'Purple Sensation', some delicate Fritillaria meleagris because I'm fascinated by its unusual colouring and several pots of double-headed miniature Narcissus Tete a Tete

Tomorrow, I'll be planting up my biggest pot with Tulip White Triumphator and Tulip Queen of the Night, and hopefully I'll get the same gorgeous display as last year



I found these great wooden plant labels at Wilkinsons and wrote on them in pencil to remind myself what was planted where.  Roll on Spring!
