The Garden lately

Hi there everyone 😀

We are at home for a couple of weeks … in between lodge visits … and we’ve spent a lot of time in the garden making the most of the good weather. Why is it that when the weather is amazing we are at home and then when we go away the forecast does an about turn? 

Anyway … we have been pretty productive. Both of the old ‘beer sheds’ have been fully renovated and are back in situ. Here are the before and after shots …

There has been jet washing, shed and fence painting, planting, weeding and all sorts going on. 

I’ve had a quick wander round today in the sunshine and it’s starting to look quite colourful and more like a garden again, following the cold and wet winter and early spring. 

We’ve planted up the urn with nemesias …

… and tidied up the plant stand, which is now filled with a mixture of herbs and Bizzy Lizzies …

The pillared Generous Gardener is looking fabulous …

… and the frilly clematis is in full bloom …

… as is the lilac …

Also blooming well are the aubretia, cornflowers, red rhody, choisya and azalea …

There is plenty of other stuff starting to look like they are well on the way … including the strawberries and the Nelly Moser …

Whilst the next picture isn’t that good you can kind of get an idea of the overall layout …

Whilst things are coming on well there is still plenty left to do … including more jet washing, which is the next job. Then I can get my pots distributed around the garden into their summer homes …

… and hopefully spend some time out there just enjoying ‘being’. Though … if you are a gardener you will know … that it’s never finished … always a work in progress 😀
