| My garden is quite shady so ferns are one of the few plants that really thrive in it |
 |
| Ramsons (wild garlic) also do well. When they are done flowering I pick the leaves and freeze them - they are delicious! |
Green is definitely one of my favourite colours! And Spring is a good time for seeing
green. The garden is awakening, and
there are so many different shades of green, it beggars description. I am always reluctant to post photos of my
garden; it is such a small, common, unexceptional garden, with few flowers or
features of interest. But to me it holds
many charms, and every flower is special.

| My first Christmas tree in the Little House. He lived in a pot for four years and now sort-of-prospers in the garden |
 |
| The little trees I scavenged in La Bourboule and planted in pots are doing well! |
 |
| The Elder is thriving (well, just try and stop them!) |
 |
| The current Christmas tree, doing alright in its pot. I repotted him after last Christmas, hopefully he will be alright in the pot for another year or two! If pines have bright green tips on their branches in Spring they are alright, if not they need attention |
