    The lawn border is starting to fill out but is still looking a bit Winter worn.

    The red chinese pot sets off the flowering Ribes sanquineum "Pulborough Scarlet"

    The seat needs a Spring clean but the Daffs make it a nice place to sit.

    The green chinese pot is full of Hostas yet to show but the other perennials are bursting out of the ground.

    The Arbour has gone through the Winter but will need a coat or two of wood treatment.

    There's a seat down there by the side of the pond getting covered in ivy.

            Thanks, Mowgley, as I've said before one of the Joys of Spring for me is sitting somewhere in the garden with a mug of hot tea staring at the borders and thinking "what's that?, what's that?, what's that one? at all the different shoots bursting out of the gronnd............you'd think I'd know by now:doh::coffee::heehee:

                  It wouldn't be an Englishman's garden without a patch of green. :) You didn't question the 'ubbub' did you know what I was talking about?

                    Lovely tour thanks @ARMANDII. you have a lot of prennuals pushing their way through the soil, such a lovely time of year.

                      Looks fab Armandii......plenty to see and plenty of nooks and crannies to explore. You have some lovely pots. Loving the Chinese red one. It sets off the Ribes beautifully. :blue thumb:
