Our run of fine, sunny days continues. It is glorious up here at Casa Debbio. Every morning when I walk along the paths of the garden something new has appeared.
Daffodils are in flower all over the garden. Bees have arrived and love the daffodils.
In the last photo you can see a tiny peony plant on the left. It is one I have grown from seed. I thought it might be big enough to survive out of its pot in a garden bed…we will see.
A lone yellow hyacinth has grown among the daffodils.
There are only about 6 peonies left to make an appearance. Some are pink points poking through the dirt, some are quite advanced and a couple already have tiny buds.
Hellebores are growing well under the cherry tree. I planted this a few years ago and it gets a bit bigger each year.
There are a couple of new hellebores on the terrace below the house. They got flattened under deep snow but seem to be OK. Hellebores grow wild in the forest around Casa Debbio, but these are cultivated and come in a variety of colours.
My pansy table is growing.
The weeping cherries will soon be in flower.
The view will soon change when things turn green.
At the moment I can still see the road to the house. Once the trees have leaves I will have to rely on sound to let me know of arrivals.
All of my fruit trees have tiny buds. The weather is expected to change later this week with cooler, wet weather returning. This might slow things a bit, but spring is definitely not far away.
