Since the beginning of the year, we had only six days without rain.
This afternoon, beautiful sunshine and mild. Suddenly, spring has decided to arrive.
It won't be long now before the big spring tidy in the garden.

Catkins on a Salix gracilistyla Mount Aso. The catkins are produced in spring before the leaves.
I moved this shrub a couple of years ago from an area, where it was not doing well. It is meant to grow up to three metres tall but is still tiny, probably on account of its hard start in life.

Started my sowing at the weekend. It's odd. Every year I am determined not to grow anything other than the essentials - vegetables and a few annuals. And every year I end up with a planting list as long as my arm. Does this sound familiar???

A taste of spring in late winter. Everywhere in the garden the Crocus buds are up, ready to burst into flower. Early pollinators love them.

Snowdrops have been flowering for several days. Bulbs, especially daffodils and tulips, are coming up and my garlic is showing signs of growing. Things are looking up!

We had a light snowfall during the night. She snow falls on already frozen ground, hence stays for a while. There is not a lot of snow but it is pretty and very seasonal.
Btw, I am usually from around 19 December to 6 January in hibernation … :)

Various plants flowering in the garden at the end of the year, in the depths of winter: Winter jasmine, Primroses and (pictured) a Camellia.
With this photograph I bid you a Happy New Year.
May you be healthy, safe and contented.

Gloomy morning, the light has a pink-ish quality. The grasses and the bamboo are glowing as if they were on fire.

Even on a grey and dull December's day, the garden looks beautiful. The grasses and dogwoods glow with autumnal or, rather, wintry colour and the seedheads provide texture.
We leave the old growth until next spring. It is so important for the wildlife. Birds and small mammals still find food from the seeds and berries. Insects overwinter in leaves and seedheads. The old growth also provides shelter for other small creatures over the winter.
Besides, if we cut down everything now, the garden would be bare, unsightly and boring for the next several months.

It may be a grey, damp, cold day but the colours in the garden are fantastic and a joy - probably a privilege - to experience.

Oh, I have been lazy again with my social media …
This border is planted with ornamental grasses, biennials and perennials - and also home to self sown biennials (Evening primrose, Teasels behind in the grass meadow) and annuals (Poppies, Corncockle). The grasses glow in the summer morning light.

The bottom of the garden. Confusingly, the garden slopes *up* towards the bottom.
Bottom left the pond. The brick construction on the right is what we call the folly. Bees, other insects, birds and pond dwelling individuals love it. So do I.
Planted to feel and look natural, wild, full and overflowing. Weeds a.k.a. wildflowers are welcome.

As I said before, happiness is an overflowing garden. Here, the paved path from the patio to the pond is becoming almost impassable. As I walk, the plants grab me and touch my skin. Beautiful!
Again - Good: Walk barefoot.
Better: Barefoot + bare arms and legs.
Best: Shed your clothes altogether if your garden is sufficiently private.
Heightens your senses, brightens the dullest day and banishes gloomy thoughts.

Happiness is an overflowing garden. At this time of the year, I cannot walk through the garden without the plants grabbing me and touching my skin. The garden is overflowing, difficult to navigate, easy to lose yourself in and hide from everyone else. Beautiful!

Harvested garlic today. Almost all bulbs a really good size, better than in previous years.
90 bulbs in total, which will see us through to the next harvest and provide seed bulbs for planting in December.
I started growing garlic several years ago. It makes me happy to realise that this is my 8th harvest!
I have a garlic growing guide on my website: https://www.wolfkettler.com/blog/grow-your-own-garlic

Part of the garden by the side of the house. Used to be a bare, utilitarian strip with only the tree, shrubs and hedging. I then transformed it into something more appealing over the course of three or four years. Wildflower mounds towards the back.
In the centre of the photograph, the bigger of our two Angelica archangelica (Garden angelica).
They are biennials but, curiously, in their third (!) year.

Elephants' ears are beginning to flower beautifully but the leaves, every last one, have been eaten. Bloody muntjac!
