What’s Growing in my Cottage Garden? Well the sun is still shining gals…so off I went into my garden today to have a good look at all the lovely roots and shoots appearing, we moved here in the winter when everything was well and truly dead!…and here we are in March…with everything coming alive!.

Now I am not an experienced gardener…and only really know the basics in plants…but I have all these new shrubs growing in the garden…that I really know nothing about…so I thought that perhaps you gals and guys could help me here!…Now obviously I know that the flowers below are daffodils! But as to everything else, I have no idea…!

I would really love some help here, especially with the nurturing of them too, like the one below….it looks to me like they could eventually be tulips…or perhaps more daffodils ??
