Tulip Negrita – Andrew In The Garden

A splash of colour during lockdown

The one where tulips beat a deadly virus.

The one where flowers bring a sea of colours to the garden.

The tulips give a dash of colour to a shady and grey corner of the garden.

The Tulips are in bloom, the seeds are sown, and the snails are marauding.

Spring has arrived, and so has the time to choose what’s going to be grown in the garden in 2014.

Last year’s Tulip bulbs are now coming into flower, and the seedlings are thriving in the propagator.

Making the most of a sunny February day, I have ventured into the garden to check on the new bulbs and see which plants survived the -11C weather.

Caterpillars begin their assault on the Nasturtiums, whilst I look towards bulbs for colour in Spring 2013.
