The Cutting Garden Flower Challenge 2014

[Ja9]

I have always picked flowers from the garden since being a child .Cruel with the scissors am I! I had a spare patch in my veg beds overwinter so put some tulips in to cut. Sadly the slugs got quite a few but I shall send a picture in tomorrow

It's such an exciting time of year 😃

late April flowers



all my tulip bulbs, & the dicentra, are from Wilko: so some of their stuff survives the shopfloor

They do look pretty but I always prefer flowers on the plants.

I have recently started a blog with my daughter,my aim is to pick something from garden every week and so far i have managed a small arrangement every week. I am using flowering shrubs which are underrated IMHO
This week it was Forsythia, Mahonia and Acuba leaves

March flowers from the garden



I don't like the pink of the camellia, but it's such a good shrub that I'm not digging it out. The tulips come back every year, I don't dig them up at all; the wallflowers are self-sown, I just pull out the non-cream ones (some come up red, yellow or orange)

Some daffodils - we have loads on the plot that are about to turn or got bent over in the wind.

March 23rd



I didn't really "pick" these, they picked themselves
The daffs had fallen over and were being eaten by summat, the ornamental plum blossom was salvaged from a tree that was falling over and has been cut down, and the other greenery is from pruning.
I did pick the forsythia though

I plan to do this, but having only just got my garden almost ship shape - my sowing is just about to start !

March: garden flowers



I have a "blue & white only" rule at home, so the yellow wallflowers didn't make it (they were cream when I planted them). These daffs have since been dug out too
