IT'S ALL GO IN THE GARDEN

Today we have spent more time in the garden, weeding and cutting back and getting plants int the ground.

The border in the flower garden as been dug over and some of the plants we moved last year and put in the nursery bed, have now been transfered to this bed.

 We need to replace the fence along this side later in the year, so we have cut back some of the overhang and have planted a lovely tall hydrangea near to the back corner, which will hopefully give the back of this border some height and colour.

 We also cut back the honeysuckle at the back of this area and cleared it and planted ina couple of Cardoons.

  We have placed our small stone head on the inside of the Lychgate and will see if it suits.

It will be interesting to see if it gets noticed where it is,or if it just fades into the background.

The shady garden is slowly coming to life.

 The apple trees are full of blossom, so we should get a good grop again this year.

 The tulips in the formal garden are flowering with more buds appearing and readying to open.

 The box really needs trimming, we missed doing it last year, so must make sure it's done soon.

 We are really pleased with these tulip bulbs which we bought from Sarah Raven's website last year.

 This Wisteria is looking lovely against the black of the wall, so we may try and find a place along the edge of the patio to plant it.

 The yellow Magnolia is flowering well and looks like it's enjoying the space.

 A closer look.

 More colour appearing in these planters.

So lots more to do , clearing the flower beds of weeds and planting them up. Luckily even though we cannot go out and purchase plants, we have quite a few we bought late last year and over wintered and can now go in.

 Plus we have managed to order some more plants online which will be delivered in the coming weeks and can help to fill in any gaps.

We have more seeds also growing in the greenhouse, flowers along with some vegetables.

See lots more to do over the coming weeks and months, a gardeners work is never done!
