Some Pictures From The Front

Some pictures of the front garden in the last couple of weeks. Must take some more as there is further growth explosion.

First Of The Year

The stars were aligned and the conditions were right. The kids napped, and it stopped raining for long enough for me to get outside for a couple of hours.

Garden Log - May 2013

What a month it's been for growth. Plenty of rain mixed with a reasonable amount of sunny days have sent things rocketing up! Lots of colour is appearing and the amount of soil showing is shrinking by the day. I've dug a new bed in the main garden (it's against a south facing fence, so hopefully that should allow me to try a few more sun lovers), and moved a few bits and pieces around. Here are this month's pictorial highlights.

What A Difference A Year Makes...

Just a quick one for today - I wanted to share my marvelling at how much growth the brunnera "Jack Frost" that I have in the front garden have put on, both in the last few weeks, and in general since they were planted.

It can't be more than a month since they were just little smudges of green in the soil, and are larger now than they were at their biggest last year.

I'm still new enough to dealing with plants for this level of growth to astound me. Does that ever wear off?

Garden Log - April 2013

The peony seems to be growing as I watch!

Spring is, thankfully, finally springing and things are growing astonishingly fast. The evenings are getting light enough for me to get outside after That Baby is a-bed and the soil has warmed to the point where I feel happy planting and sowing directly. There's still a fair old bit of catch-up to be played, but that's all good!

So without further ado, here is this months photo log. Enjoy.

Irises

Just wanted to share this picture of my Poundland Irises. There's one in the previous post but since then more have come out. I'd forgotten I'd planted them, I wish I'd planted more of them, and I will be remedying this come next spring.
