In a New Year Vase on Monday.

It is nice to start a make new year with some freshly issue flowers for the tabular array . I find fault them rather of late so I am afraid they are all taken with a split second .

I bought the little jugful in France not long after we were married . So it is peculiar .

For blossom , I usedMahonia x media‘Winter Sun’,Skimmia japonica‘Rubella”,Viburnum bodnantense‘Dawn’,Jasminum nudiflorumand a few sprigs of white Calluna vulgaris , Erica carnea . I also had a few branchlet ofSalvia‘Wendy ’s Wish ’ in the greenhouse . The leaf isLonicera‘Baggessen ’s Gold ’ , a shiny , red foliage ofBergenia‘Eric Smith ’ , a marbleized leaf ofArum italicum‘Pictum ’ a sprig ofGarryaellipticawith its sick green catkins . I used some undimmed red branchlet ofCornus alba‘Sibirica ’

As we are entertaining today , I cheated in my second vase . patently the roses are n’t from the garden and the eucalypt fell into my script as I was walk in the little wood nearby . I love the colours with my methamphetamine hydrochloride vase . Never listen , in a few weeks it will be February and there will be plenty of wintertime treasures for vases and I sha n’t postulate to corrupt flowers or steal leaf .

So here we are then , it is 2017 ; a clock time of solvent and Modern beginnings . The slate is wiped clean and we can reinvent ourselves into a nice , shiny new 2017 edition of ourselves .

Here is what I have got plan for the 2017 newfangled me . I am function to amaze my loved ones by becoming a domesticated goddess . I will keep up with the ironing and cleaning . My windows will glint and there will be no paddle piles of books by my chair . I might even tailor a few release on . If I can find a acerate leaf .

I will stop buying jugs .

When it come to gardening , I am going to sow all the seeds I grade and prick them out . And I will even make certain they all get establish .

I am go to stop creating new region in the garden so that I can take right care of existing ones . Actually , I do n’t guess I will manage this one .

I am going to enlighten out the flora skunk shed . OK , I live you might have heard this before .

I am break to strip my tools each time I use them and put them away in my nice new shed .

I am going to show a little restraint when it comes to plant buying .

Actually , I do n’t know why I am have all these resolutions . I just checked thelistI made on this blog in 2013 and I fail with every one .

Cathy atRamblinginthegardendoesn’t need to make a novel yr ’s resolve to fulfill a vase with flowers every Monday . She never fails and she inspires many bloggers to do the same . This week she has pick some of her fabulous enchantress hazelnut and made a furred caterpillar with it . Do go and see .

I have mystify a bit behind with other web log the last few days , but I shall catch up before long . Being a domesticated goddess is very time consuming . Oh , and my other solvent which is to motorcycle 50 miles a week has maintain me meddlesome too . That one likely wo n’t last long ; just until the garden looks a little less black and white and a little more inviting .

A very Happy New Year , dear blogging ally , I am looking forward to share your garden delights over the coming year .
