    Thats he third year for those particular tulips and they appear to be multiplying. Once they have died back I'll lift them and take a look

    Two two days of sunshine and the garden seems transformed







    Wallflowers and tulips on the sunny front of the house are probably two weeks I’d advance of those in the back garden


    Is there anything more therapeutic than sitting by the pond and counting newts!?





    A pity the crab apple isn’t quite in bloom. The daffodil bed will soon be mass planted with geranium Rozanne with a single central geranium Anne Folkard growing over a peony support. In the small bed by the shed is geranium Patricia.

    The garden was transformed last winter/spring. All the planting apart from the trees has been done over the past year.

    Congratulations. Great rewards for all your hard work.

    Thank you. But the landscape gardeners did the hard work - my contribution was to make the tea and provide cake. Mind you, the tea was rooibosch with a half a teaspoon of honey so it wasn’t that easy!

    I need to practice leaving a gap between them.

    Yes, that gap is really needed to set off the photos. On a computer, just press the Enter key to insert a blank line below each photo. But maybe you are using a tablet?
  • Joyce your selection of pots are lovely, well arranged so colourful, please tell me what the beautiful little polyanthus (?) is called, it is delightful.

    I'm using a Laptop Papi Jo, but when I'm in France the photos take ages to load and I forget to click. Most of the photos I can't see because my Internet is too slow. Now I'm in Norfolk and the Internet is good so I've just had a catch up. Here are some photos of my garden in Dordogne that I couldn't send.

    So good to be sitting outside with a cold beer at last.
