A cold and frosty morning , but the sun is shining brightly .With all the tree blossom around we are into the hayfever season for many of us . I have been on medication now for a couple of weeks and I assume its due to the hay-fever or a sneeze I have a complete blood shot eye today . I had spent an hour or so out in the garden yesterday as Gary and I trimmed back a couple of bushes ! As you see the forget-me-nots look so cheerful as they have taken over a whole flowerbed . When they finish flowering I strip them all out and tidy the area . They will be back next year !!
Your garden looks beautiful. I do feel sorry for you having hay fever. I suffered terribly with it from childhood and until my early 30s and then I had allergy tests and a series of injections over a 3 month period and never had hay fever since. (touch wood)
You are a very thorough gardener....I had no idea you should strip the flowers out & they will come back next year. We could learn much from you! Hope the hay fever medication works...I sure you know exactly what works! I imagine you feel a mess with your eye, such things make us feel self conscious!
Lovely to see the for-get-me- nots surrounding your shrubs one of my favourite flowers and I love the way they pop up again next year from the seeds . Hope your hay fever medication helps lots of new things on the market nowadays too.
( Found yesterday a field with white ones. Keep it in stock and show later.)
All your hard work pays off.
