Pipie,need to clear up after the Summer drought.Should be OK for the Spring,if the daffodils come up, again and I plant loads of tulips I bought in Istanbul,.

In Wales I did formal gardens,now I am producing a Cypriot garden.....just full of colour and perfume !!!

.......and naturally scruffy !!!!

Hi Mike I put some Snowdrops in last week have been told by a local it doesnt really matter when they are planted so I shall sit back now and just wait with my fingers crossed. Last years freesia tulips daffodils and crocuses gave a lovely display.

Istanbul,by the spice market,Eminonu.

I've never seen them on sale in TRNC.

They'll be planted by the weekend.

Have noticed freesia leaves are showing in the garden.
