    Lovely pics everyone. Hoping to get out with the camera in the next couple of days.... Hoping to have our first bbq of the year too ;)

    We bought a new hebe and peony, and have some lovely things flowering that I want to take some pics of, just been so busy.

    Lawn looking a little patchy and worse for wear after the winter, in need of reseeding. Lots looking good otherwise though, and we have a family of birds using our nest box for the first time which is very sweet. Spring has definitely sprung!

      Me too Sienna.....getting the camera out I mean :)
      Coincidentally I was tempted by a peony today ....Karl Rosenfield. New foliage is very striking. I will be passing again tomorrow so I may just go for it.:)
      Spring Sienna? Summer is knocking on the door this week:SUNsmile:

                  Agree about the drainage. For my cold frame overwintering pelargoniums I keep them really dry and in terracotta pots and will only water the tiniest amount if very dry in a mild spell during winter.

                    I've been looking forward to this for two weeks, since the area looked like this.

                      This bed was renewed last year and is rather crammed. Some of it is self-seeded, such as the Nigella

                      P1410909.JPG

                      These are self-seeded Welsh poppies
                      P1410910.JPG

                      Erythronium (sown) and that part of the bed has loads of giant Ajuga

                      The Exochordas are now half full of flower (another week or so to go)
