GARDENING

Although the forecast was not the best and it started with a few silly showers (enough to be annoying but not enough to do any good) we have had a beautiful day and have managed to give  the flower bed alongside the drive its first weed since winter.  

We were surprised at just how dry it is so hope we get some rain overnight.  We are now both pleasantly tired.

The cinerarias are a lovely splash of colour 




The grape vine is coming into leaf


and the foxgloves are just starting to flower.

  1. We, of course, are going in the opposite direction and carpets of leaves are everywhere.

    1. My preferred seasons are autumn and spring. I am a big kid in autumn and love kicking through fallen leaves.

  2. Love seeing all those bright colours! The colours we have left are autumn leaves and a few bedraggled nasturtiums

    1. Yes, Gwynneth - I always love seeing photos of northern spring flowers as we head to autumn.

    1. Yes, the forecast seems to be for a wetter summer. We had a bit last night and our new tank overflowed. Lighter rain today but the wind is quite strong. I have not been outside.
