Gardening - the great tidy up starts

Yesterday afternoon was glorious, so I decided that I needed to get onto the garden.  The chickens have had free reign of it for a while and they have been throwing stuff all over the place.  They are actually quite good at kicking the leaves about but it was high time for a tidy.  Their area is now restricted as I'm finding lots of new shoots with pecked ends, hubby blames the deer but I'm not so sure!

Here are some of the lovelies I uncovered, I know I show you these every year but I just love hellebore and once all the leaves from last year are clipped back they really come into their own.





I have lots of clumps of snowdrops too



The frost is taking it toll on the brickwork to the patio wall - pretty moss though


The hat for the Sailors' Society is finished and in the post.  Can't say I enjoyed the pattern that much and it seemed like an awful lot of stitches, perhaps sailors have big heads!


I'm currently knitting a hooded poncho for Jess, no photos to share right now, but its this pattern 

It will be a busy weekend - collecting the boys tomorrow for the weekend and Jessica will be one on Sunday, can you believe a year has gone so quickly.

    Happy Birthday sweet Jess.
    We are covered in snow here...and bitter cold. Your garden with its lovely show of green and color is quite a nice sight!

    Isn't it lovely to get outside in the garden. I love hellebores they are so delicate, unfortunately most of mine are round the side of my garden, so unless i'm outside, I miss them.
