Spring garden

The garden is looking gorgeous when not dampened by the rain.  It is telling me that the bulbs need to be thinned out to give them a chance to survive next year.  I shall be giving away the extras.


The Manchurian pear has lost its blossoms but the young leaves are beautiful.

Intermingling colours

Diosma doing very well.

Feeding this thin bed last autumn has helped.


Welcoming bright gazanias.

Wallflower, ixias and red azalea fighting for space.

Spring stars (Tritellia) and blue bells.

Blue bells and freesias appear each spring without fail.

Potted pansies for variety.
