After a week of very cold, strong winds, thankfully they have now died down and it is far more pleasant working in the garden. During the week I was using the house to shelter me from the wind, depending on which way it was blowing, never the same two days running, but mostly I was hiding in the back or in the woodland. I have now ventured round onto the rockery where the weeding has now been finished and I have some more plants to put in to provide colour through the year. One day when I came round into the back, the wind was coming from the west and there was a wonderful smell of honey in the air, I knew straight away that Euphorbia melliferra was in flower!
No 1
As you can see the Euphorbia has grown over the bench which can’t be seen, never mind sat on, any more! This is aseedling of the one next to it, so I think it must be cut back and moved into the driveway border.
