It’s the simple things like #snowdrops on the garden bank that make me happy on a sunny January day…

There are so many snowdrops multiplying around the garden, so I thought I’d dig them up in the green and pot up, for the outside table.

I do my nans after they have flowered and it’s warmer and have always come up, but that also could be luck 🤣

I’m moving some too so I don’t lose them. I keep reading it’s best to move them in the green. I just don’t know what that means 😂🤣

In the green means after they’ve flowered and before the foliage dies down girls and that’s when they’re best moved as Hayley says 👍🏼💚 Carole, @ada31514 @Hayley.R
