April colours

The borders are blooming. Blues and pinks and purples, with just a touch of yellow still.

That’s all for today

Another month has come and gone, its been a busy month where we have been working on the garden, getting ready for the wedding which we will be setting up in 3 weeks......eek!!

May is gearing up to be a very busy month, one where we take care of the boys for a week whilst their parents are away. Two concerts. A wedding. Add to that keeping on top of the garden. Having a new loo  fitted (just the right time for a leak, especially as this is the loo that will be used by the guests).  I am relieved to see that June is looking to be fairly barren and that I am happy with, I think we will need the break!!

All action in the garden

The warmer weather has certainly perked the plants up in the garden and the borders are starting to fill out. We are however, still having overnight frosts, my Castor Oil plant got caught a few days back, so this will need cutting off, but on the whole things are looking good.

The seeds I planted the other weekend have germinated and some will be ready for potting on

The apple blossom is not quite out yet so hoping it can hang on until the frosts are finished, the cherry seems not to be bothered and is putting on a show

New growth everywhere

Last year I thought my Wisteria was mainly dead as I only had one flower head and a few leaves, but no this year it is going to be a mass of blooms, must have been having a rest.  I will make sure to take some photos once we are in full bloom

Hubby is busy with the rotavator finishing the veg plot and I have finished clearing the borders of leaves and general garden rubbish.  All the edges need recutting but thats a job for another day, I have knitting to get on with
