Tulips and other news

The spring tulips are bursting up out of the earth, where they slumbered over winter 



The purple were only planted this year 



You can just see the red emerging from within the daffodils 


And the ever faithful 
Nasturtium are growing back to add colour after the grey days 



The wild winds have demolished our composting toilet at the farm. We need to rethink what we are going to do 



Luckily we only lost power for a few hours. 
There are still thousands of homes without it 

It’s windy today but no where near the gale we had a few days ago 

Fingers crossed we don’t get anymore

  4. Hopefully it’ll have all gone away in two weeks time…..or there’s going to be one very unhappy camper in Kilsyth!
    The purple tulips must have a good strong stem to not get flattened (shame about the loo) do the red ones have feathered petals or does it just look that way?

    1. Yes they have the feathered edges. I fell in love and had to have them

  5. I do like nasturtiums, pretty and edible, lovely peppery flavor. I must remember to plant seeds next year.
