What's looking good in April 2017

Good afternoon my James Grieve apple tree from my warm day horizontal position

 

I love this time of year when shoots are showing and there's some colour and you know that it's just the beginning.



The borders are starting to fill up around the Girl, Boy under the Umbrella statue.

 

The Clematis Armandii draping itself over the Acer Brilliantissimum has gone from strength to strength with it's flowering this year and the scent in this moist warm air is carrying several yards.


Ziggy's glassware is still safe and sound in the Arbour and comes "alive" with colour when the rays of the setting Sun strike it.

The first thing I see when leaving the House is this Damson Tree opposite my front door. It gives a beautiful display and then a really heavy crop of sweet tasting Damsons.......I've already got order from friends who want to make some pies and jam from it.

 

The Green House seems to fill up even more every time I take plants out of it to plant in the borders



The Spirea Arguta is looking good again this year

My project of the year the Foxtail Lilies are slowly showing their heads with thick strong shoots.

 

My Exochorda "The Bride" is just starting to flower.......




Whenever I'm in the garden there's always a "Shadow" within inches of me

My Osmanthus Burkwoodii is just starting to flower and as well as the Choisya
so along with the Clematis Armandii the garden is really filling with sweet honeyed scent.

 

Good afternoon
