Given the warmer weather I’m finding myself in the garden more and noticing some lovely things growing and some cute visitors!

So for fellow garden lovers - what’s happing in your garden today?










Pleased to see that our wildflowers are starting to grow where we seeded. Might have to wait a while before we see any real colour though as they look like weeds at the moment!

Nice looking plant, do you know what it is please?

As someone else has commented - it’s London Pride. Absolutely stunning in the flesh. We didn’t plant it but glad we have it.

Evening visitors - low light and terrible phone picture having to zoom in a little way, but often have some pop in when we leave the driveway gates open, one definitely looks like she’s carrying a baby or two.

It’s what you do with it, not how big it is. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.

Indeed it is!

A large garden requires a lot of work and expense to keep it looking even remotely tidy. Be careful what you wish for!!

Agreed! My wife and I keep talking about potentially getting a gardener in for at least a full day a week. At the moment we’re out there at least 1.5days each and we’re are at risk of losing the battle - we are already behind on the bushes and hedges and probably need a week solid to get on top of them.

Still really pleased with how the meadow is looking - oxeye daisy now slowly finishing, so that means collecting seed. Surprisingly addictive and very satisfying. Sweet peas still producing huge amounts of bloom, running out of room at home.

Envious - our areas we seeded this year have not done very well. In fact the smaller areas are ok but the bigger ones look patchy to say the least! I definitely over seeded the smaller areas and they are looking lush! Won’t be sticking to the prescribed seeding rate next year!
