Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day: January, 2014

The winter is finally here, more than a month late. Last month was a month of rain instead of snow. The temperature was much too high for December and January and only a few days before it fell below zero at night. Today my garden looks at it should look during the winter. Few days…

Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day: November, 2013

This is the end. Golden autumn turned into gloomy black and white mode. It is dark in the morning; it’s dark when I come back home after the work. There were lots of rain and my lawn is wet and soggy. I even had to postpone my casual autumn cleaning because I can hardly enter…

Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day: October, 2013

One more month has passed away. We are quickly approaching a cold season. During the last week the end of beautiful golden autumn has become more and more evident. Golden leaves started to fall and turn brown, and just in few days colourful and spruce trees uncovered their bare branches.  My garden is slowly turning…

Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day: September, 2013

This is my twelfth GBBD post and a first birthday of my blog– a small anniversary. The past year was a time of learning: learning about plants, compositions, care, maintenance, and even about photography. Thanks to the GBBD community, all the gardeners who invite to visit their gardens and share their experience– you folks are…

Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day: August, 2013

This August is burning with reds, yellows and orange. These colours were not so dominant last year; they were much more diluted by white, pink or blue tones.  However last month was very hot, I wasn’t at home and did no additional watering during these hot weeks, so many of my flowers bloomed shorter than…

Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day: July, 2013

Another wonderful month has passed away. Although Lithuanians usually complain about weather a lot, I can’t find any reasons to be unhappy about this summer. Till this day it was one of the nicest summers I could ever remember. There were a lot of sunny days and lots of opportunities for summer dresses to wear….

Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day: June, 2013

It was a wonderful month with lots of sun and rain. After a delayed spring everything is rushing to bloom, sometimes even compromising habitual blooming order. I can’t remember I’ve ever seen lilacs and forsythias blooming together before. However this is what has happened this spring – what a crazy combination of colours. The weather…

Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day: May 2013

Here comes the sun… The sun is in the sky; the sun is under my feet. Meadows are yellow form blooms of common dandelion. Face, hands and dresses of my little daughter are almost always messy with their milky sap. And it is alright. I just can’t imagine the spring without this golden period. Some…

Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day: April, 2013

Spring is finally here. Not for very long though – there were only five warm days. March and the beginning of April were extremely cold, about 4oC colder than average.  My flower beds looks pretty messy after such a long winter. Spring’s cold did more damage than all the winter, especially for evergreen plants. For…

Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day: March, 2013

A beginning of March was full of promise. Days were warm and sunny, snow started to melt away unveiling green buds of spring flowers. Crocuses were just to bloom; I already could see their violet petals. Even tulips shot up. I was looking forward to make a first photo of a real bloom in my…
