Through the Garden Gate - January 2021
Welcome to Through the Garden Gate for another garden year. Although it may be miserable outside January always marks the promise of the year to come in the garden. So what's has been happening in my garden this month?
Another welcome sight is the occasional appearance of a solitary rose.
Another frequent visitor to the garden is this tiny wren.
As the weather has been colder the roe deer who are rarely seen, are appearing closer to the house, it is so lovely to watch them on the skyline.
What are the highlights of your garden this month?

Lovely to see the roe deer. How brave. Hope the daphne does well, we are loving ours although hard to detect a fragrance at the moment with the cold. Everything seems a little later this year. I expect your snow drops will appear soon B x
ReplyDeleteThe primrose makes me smile. It always amazes me to see things blooming in your garden at this time of year. We are so far away from blooms here in Virginia. Snow storm is on the way. The robins are delightful. Best, Kim
ReplyDeleteEverything here is buried in snow. It looks like spring there already. Lucky you. Take care.
ReplyDeleteNo flowers as the ground is frozen solid here in Pennsylvania and a snow storm is on the way, so I have been watching the birds, too. I have sweet wrens that remind me of my home in England, but how I miss the robins. Your lovely picture of them made me homesick, Sarah. I am working on my January post for your meme and hope to have it published tomorrow (sorry I missed last month.)
ReplyDeleteStay safe and healthy. P. x
The January here is very cold, despite low temperatures there is no snow here. So we have been watching the birds instead of gardening. I found tiny little snowdrops a few day ago. Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteLovely to see the English Robin, our robins are so different. January has been a mixed weather month for us. Here is my recap of the month http://www.craftygardener.ca/keeping-busy-in-january/
ReplyDeleteTwo lonely crocus tried to bloom this month. It didn't matter to me, just to see some purple color in the yard was a welcome relief. My winter vegetable garden is doing better than ever this year. I think planting way too much was the right thing to do.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry I missed last month - no internet for a few weeks.

Lovely to see your primrose in the middle of a damp winter! They flower bravely even in Australia!
ReplyDeleteYour robins are very pretty and remind me of pictures of robins in books we had as children.
There's not much happening in the garden at the moment, Sarah, but its lovely to see the bulbs coming through. Here's my post for this month https://margaretspatch.blogspot.com/2021/01/through-garden-gate-january-2021.html
ReplyDeleteWonderful to be reconnected and see your garden again. Full of the promise of Spring which is surely just round the corner. Good to know that you and the garden are thriving. A blessing to have such a wonderful outdoor place to enjoy in these strange and difficult times.
ReplyDeleteWill finish my post for you tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI've never grown primroses.
Like that one of the robin using it as a perch.
