          Starting to see a few roses coming out of the ten we have on our new paved area over the former koi pool.

          Our clematis are doing us proud.

          These azaleas next to the patio are so tightly packed I find it's hard to push my hand through them to put some bird food in the tray in the space below to feed our dunnocks.

              One of my favourite Viburnums. :blue thumb: It will need judicious pruning as it can grow quite large - as you will see tomorrow. :)
