Lockdown continues at Casa Debbio and will do until at least 4th May. My garden is the thing that makes this staying at home bearable. Last week I planted pansies between the new hydrangeas along the driveway.
Muffloni, wild goats, have nibbled a few since they were planted, but a couple of nights ago they pulled them all out and tossed them down the hill. They also kicked one of the logs at the edge down to the next terrace. Then one of them left the regular message in the form of a black poo on my doorstep. You have to laugh!
Wisteria is growing well over the pergola, the purple more quickly than the white.
A couple of evenings ago one of my peonies began to open.
The next day it opened along with its neighbour.
The ricotta flowers are growing. Soon they will turn creamy white.
The blue sky makes a stunning backdrop for the ginestra. The Judas tree is flowering on the top terrace.
The ginestra won’t be in flower much longer. The forsythia is already getting its leaves.
I had to buy these lovely petunias.
For lunch yesterday I made cauliflower fritters, delicious. Gardening, cooking and Netflix…lockdown continues. We had a tiny bit of rain last night so I didn’t have to spend most of the day watering.
This stunning wisteria is growing on a house in a nearby village. I drove past on my way to the supermarket last week. I hope mine is as impressive as this in a few years.
How is lockdown going for you?
