The Joys and Colours of Springtime in My Garden 2013

It's lovely to see the plants come to life after the rotten weather we've been having, yours look great:-)

Thanks Swanky, what part of cheshire are you from?

Enjoyed your blog Carole, you have a lovely lot of colour in your garden.

You do have a lot of colour in your garden Pp. so refreshing to even see some colour apart from green, hopefully our weather is turning now!! :)

Thanks Cinders and Grandma, lovely sunny spells here today but chilly when the sun goes behind the clouds.

so much pretty colour carole in your garden and the pots look pretty to, your more on top of yours than mine im just starting haha, love the drumsticks and lovely of sandra to give you white one, iv been painting bird station today along with sundial and turkish lantern, so all nice and shinny black now :o))

Thanks Sandra and good for you your garden will soon be full of lovely plants and colour as it always is;0)

All looking good PP nice to see things coming to life isn't it? I thought I had lost my ox slips but no there they are popping up trouble is they're also in the lawn! Lol

Thanks SK pleased you still have your Oxlips must check on mine;0)

thanx carole, think my rowan may have bit the dust, cant see any buds and doesnt look good, have to try something else haha

I am surprised how far behind you are 'up north' our daffs are nearly over and the tulips are just coming out,
even with a grotty winter we didn't have snow or the very low temperatures, I am sure it will even itself out soon.

certainly plenty to look at. I like what you've done with your pots. Those Hyacinths in the last picture look great!

Lots of beautiful colour and I really like your pots.

You really have some tremendous colour going on both in the garden and in your pots. It makes you feel alive and raring to go with the bit of sunshine we are having at the moment, just hope it lasts.

You have a lovely selection of spring flowers Carole I loved the colour of the blue Primular and the gorgeous red stalks of the peony , it's been such a beautiful sunny day today lulling us into a false sense of security no doubt .. !

thanks Sandra Liz Bee.Scottish, Stroller. and Amy For all your kind comments, hope todays weather continnues for at least a a couple of days so we can all get little jobs done, collected 12 slugs tonight without a torch, so beware they are Out There!

Thanks to Sanbaz,Lizzbee, Scttish, Louisia,Stroller,and Amy, I hope this sunny spell coninues it will help everything catchup ;0)

My goodness PP your garden is so full of colour! It puts mine to shame at the moment. I've used Nematodes for the first time this year, against the slugs. It remains to be seen how successful it will be.

Hi Waddy thanks I am pleased with it this Spring, Its strange as I have just been reading about Nematodes I think they are what Sandra used last year, I put on the outside lights the other evening when it had been raining and the Patio was covered with them so I will have to take some action and will give the Nematodes a go;0)

Lovely plants Carole, you're maybe a little forward of us this year. You have some pretty pots too, that hyacinth one is an unusual shape isn't it. I notice you turned into Iciar again higher up, I wonder how that happens?:-)

Isnt it strange, I wonder if Iciar turns into Pansypotter lol

Lovely colourful blog .....

thanks
