Snowdrops...

Snowdrops...❀ 

With a bit of luck the only mention of snow from now on will be the snowdrops carpeting our gardens. Always a welcome sight at this time of the year, Snowdrops (Galanthus), remind me that the worst of winter is over and spring is just around the corner.

Once a clump of snowdrops has established they spread like wildfire so they are great value for money as well as giving an awesome lengthy display just when it’s needed the most. For a triple hit why not mix in a generous drift of Crocuses and Bluebells and you will have a gorgeous blanket of colour well in to spring.

There are many different Snowdrops to collect with doubles, triples and singles they have something for everyone (see below) and can often demand a high price between avid Galanthus collectors at special collectors events where the newest and rarest varieties are bought, sold and swapped while they are 'in the green'. 

Snowdrops can be expensive to buy especially when they are hard to
establish from the bulb so the best thing to do is swap clumps between your
friends when they have just finished flowering but still have the green leaves,
hence 'in the green'. Here at Green Goddess Gardening we often do this for our
regular customers by swapping around between gardens. Large clumps can be split in to smaller ones so they can be spread over a larger area or just plonk the
whole clump in the ground...they are not fussy when in the green and establish quickly and start to spread soon after.

 
Gift Idea....✿
If you have a surplus of Snowdrops in your garden they also make lovely gift, perhaps for mothers day.

Just wrap a bundle of 10-15 in some newspaper and tie with a ribbon, Or pot up and wrap with some nice paper and then add a hand made label with planting instructions and the variety if you know it. I for one would love to recieve such a thoughtful gift.

Although hydroponic greenhouse gardening may have many benefits for individuals and food producers, the term may not be familiar to the public in general. Hydroponics is the cultivation of plants and vegetables in water, fortified with inorganic nutrients. The greenhouse would be the environment and shelter for your hydroponic gardening. In a controlled, greenhouse environment, you can optimize the nutritional value and yield of the garden.

Caring for bonsai trees starts from the time you buy the tree. After buying your bonsai tree from the stores ensure that you keep it outside for the first two weeks. It is also important to protect the bonsai plant from strong wind and sun during the first few days.
