Oh TY Clarice. I think my garden is the "Star" really for wearing so well under the onslaught of seven children and seven grandchildren and hundreds of their friends. It is splendid example of how to age well.
More pictures flumpy. Pleased to see the mock orange blossom is opening. i have single and double philadelphus all over the garden which perfumes it beautifully.
Gorgeous pictures Marion, I love the close up pictures too such detail , you look like you having better weather than us, I just got started on the planting then the heavens opened and went very windy so I'm stuck in doors now, looks like a better day tomorrow tho
Such a beautiful sunny morning and the forecast is the same for the whole of next week so all steam ahead in the garden now. The pyracantha has never been so covered in blossom so the fruitful year continues. The bees are reaping the benefit now so it will be covered in berries for the birds in a few months time.
It was a worm night last night Marion, woken up to sunshine and the birds happily singing I can carry on planting now , I've potted up two strawberry plants for my brother and gave my dad four curly Kale which I grew from seed last year, my dad has a very large veg plot and grows all sorts, I will take photos next time I'm there
I picked my first three ripe strawberries (huge) from Mr, fothergill's "Sweetheart" trials from last year and, with a handful of my own alpine strawberries (small) had them on my cereal. It was just last week I finished the last box from the freezer from last year's crop. The hebes have opened their buds this morning and the bushes are covered.
Mmmmm your strawberries sound yummy , our strawberry plants are just flowering now, it shows how far behind the north is, well hot most all the planting done, cut the lawn just need to cut the edges but my mum dad and brother turned up, my brother came to pick his strawberry plants up plus my god daughter and in laws came at 10.30am, my god daughter Mia is only five but she couldn't wait to explore the garden
I have been eating greenhouse grown strawberries for a couple of weeks and yesterday I had my first allotment grown ones too- they are very much in danger of not making it home with me! The greenhouse ones don't even make it to the back door
It is so nice to finally have some proper gardening weather, typically just as I go back to work!

You too, flumpy. So glad you have good gardening weather at last.
