  • Reply Debby December 4, 2020 at 9:45 pm

    My favourite season in the garden is summer because it’s warmer, sunnier and the results of all the spring planting are evident: pretty flowers and salad, vegetables and herbs fresh from the garden to plate, and juicy strawberries whenever we want them (usually enough to share a few bits with our lovely neighbour too). In spring I love to watch the adult birds and squirrels taking food to the nests/dreys and the dog & vixen filling their mouths as much as they can to take food home to their earth with that year’s cubs waiting, but in summer we are properly introduced to all the new animals. I love to see the different birds fledging and sometimes the adults will brood two, or even three new families. Baby squirrels are cute and it’s fun watching them learn from their parents and getting to know the trees in their now big world. Fox cubs playing on the lawn, tumbling, practice-pouncing, pleading with their parents for extra food. I love how the adult foxes will line the cubs up outside my kitchen window if the nightly food offerings have been a bit sparse as a big hint to provide more (I’m sure they know I can’t resist finding them something else!) I’m happy to spend my summer days pottering in the garden, tidying up, keeping things nice or lazing in my hammock, reading a good book or doing puzzles.

    If I were to choose a special season I think it might have to be this last summer in particular as I’ve been more or less housebound for three years after open heart surgery then.cancer .This last summer I got out sometimes and smelled the flowers .A motto I’ve had in life has been “,never be too busy to stop and smell the flowers” . So this year though it’s been forced on me it’s also been an immense pleasure to do just that.

    My favourite time in the garden is anytime. I love my garden and with the co-vid pandemic, it has kept me sane. We moved into a new house 18 months ago. After getting the house sorted, we started on the garden. We have had over 20 tons of topsoil delivered which was dumped on our front drive. It all had to be barrowed to our back garden. We have almost 80% of the garden laid out and planted up. This coming spring we will construct our raised beds for fruit and vegetables in the area behind the garage. Panting so far has been to encourage wildlife. My husband doesn’t know this but I have a remote camera for him for Christmas to record all our visitors.

    I can’t choose one season! Winter is the most exciting, of course, because that’s when I start my seeds and feel the promise most keenly, sort of like being pregnant. The Babies are here in the spring, and I feel the momentum as they grow toward self-sufficiency. Summer is its own delight because everything comes to fruition and my family can enjoy such a variety of fresh foods. Then there’s Fall, when I make up chutneys, safts, jams, dried flowers, and packets of herbs to be given as holiday gifts. And in the midst of this pandemic, I’m grateful for every day of the year.

    Summer because it’s lighter for longer meaning that it gives more time to work in the garden.The flowers are all in bloom,full of colour and it all looks so beautiful

    Summer – the smell of freshly cut grass

    My favourite season in the garden is early spring. I love to see the eager little bulbs pushing through the snowy, icy soil. I love to spend time in the greenhouse planting my seeds and preparing the beds ready to receive the plants when they are ready.

    Spring, because that’s when I start planting in my greenhouse to feed everyone in the summer.

  • Reply Victoria Prince December 13, 2020 at 11:51 am

    I like autumn. It’s a little less overwhelming than summer (though I suppose that’s my own fault – I need to not plant so much!) but there are still plenty of things to be harvested, and the autumn fruit starts to produce. I also love watching things change colour.

    My favourite garden season is the Autumn. I love the foliage colours as well as the plants which come into their own – the asters and dahlias, plus all the lovely seed-heads of plants which have finished flowering. Best of all, it’s the season of hope, because I start looking forward to the Spring when all my hard work planting bulbs will hopefully come to fruition.

    Winter. Especially a cold and crisp one.
    It marks an end to things.
    Mother nature gives us a chance for a deep breath, sit down & cup of tea before the year resets and the business of spring.
    A cleansing moment for the mind, giving you a chance to stop and take stock of life before the planning and adventures of the year ahead.

    Mine is the start of spring, seeing the snow drops and crocuses poking there heads up through the soil.
    The first signs of the bees buzzing around the Daffodils. This is the time to plant veg seeds.
    You know the warmer weather is upon us.

Hubby and I see the garden as another room of our house and lavish it with much love and attention. It repays us many times over with delicious organic fruit and veg, beautiful floweres intersperrsed amongst them and an abundance of wild life . It also provides us with a great place to sit and relax in…….much needed as we are now both 73!

    Autumn is my favourite. As a kid it’s always the most exciting with conkers, bonfire toffee, fallen leaves and fireworks. As an adult it’s the ending of another year with a slide into winter and a chance to take stock before the new spring begins.
