In April! That month as arrived quick! It's been quite cold with a chilly wind recently, so it was nice when today dawned warmer and sunny.
One of our cat's passed away this week and while looking for a nice spot to bury her in the garden, I noticed that this nosiette rose and the jasmine at the side was taking over that corner of the flower garden.
The branches were so full and heavy they were dropping over the border and grass.
So this afternoon, I went out and cut a big chunk of it off . I always then cut the waste into small pieces to compose, the smaller it is the quicker it will rot down. It still needs more work, some reduction in the height and the border beneath digging over and a few plants put in.
I just have a few of the bigger stems to cut up.
The Black Tulip Magnolia is full of gorgeous buds that are starting to flower , hopefully they won't get destroyed by any frosts that are occuring due to the nights being so clear.
The Magnolia Susan is also in flower.
We also need to find a home for this lovely Wisteria which we bought in a clearence sale last year.It's already budding up !

I’m very sorry to hear that your cat passed away.
ReplyDeleteSpring is a lovely season when almost all plants grow beautifully.
It is so exciting to find some changes, such as budding, flowering, every day in the garden.
According to the new corona virus, we canceled Open-garden next weekend.
We are just enjoying the beautiful season silently in the garden these days.
Thank you, she was 19 so had a good long happy life.
DeleteSo sorry you had to cancel your open garden day, people will have missed not getting to walk round such a lovely spot.
It is nice to be able to sit outside and enjoy the quiet
