I agree Sheila Knee surgery is in its infancy compared to hip replacement. Your husband sounds as if he is doing very well .Same as you,I didn't realise how tired I would feel but as we say it's all in a good cause!Painting is certainly not on the agenda yet!

It’s so good that the frosts haven’t spoiled them this year Linda.

Thank you, I am so pleased the frost hasn’t caught it this year.

Thank you Julia. So pleased to hear your OH is doing well post op. They say a hip replacement has a quicker and easier recovery time. He had his operation last Friday and he says the pain is easier every day. I can see his mobility improving daily. I didn’t realise how tired I would get though!

I'm also frustrated with it too, there are adverts between every comment and photograph even though I have ADBLOCK in place, for some reason its not stopping them on here, it has spoilt my enjoyment and I never thought I would say that.....I do look in regularly but admit I've just about given up, I'm trying to do a blog but its taking ages, at this rate my spring blog might be finished in time for the summer one, I'm not sure any pm's have been getting through, don't think they have....

Hi HB have a similar situation here..OH has just had a knee replacement..1 week on doing quite well...expect you feel more tired ,I certainly do...each week they will gain more movement. All the very best.

To be very honest both this area has evolved by chance...except for the tulips which I kept to purple etc.

I agree with Linda.

Would love Adam Frost to do more on GW.He has had his personal troubles consequently the house move.

I agree . Nice combination of plants there Julia. It looks very pleasant.

Thank you both , Linda and Thormeyside for your nice comments. They cheer up that area.

It is nice that it covers the site of plane dirt .It makes it more enjoyable. .....to my eyes. They both (tulips) look lovely and very healthy.

Thanks Kate...xx

Sorry I’m late to comment, Chris. I watch GW as I love gardening, Monty..blah, not so much.
I like it when Adam or Frances is presenting or they have a little segment. To be honest, I’d prefer if one of these two would take over as main presenter!
OH was most displeased on Friday night when Monty was negative about alliums, they’re his fave!
Plus, I find him quite hypocritical at times, Monty…I don’t like his messy garden style.. weeds everywhere and it’s very disorganised too.
I chuckled on Friday night when he seeded his ‘lawn’ area as I thought, you’ll be lucky!

Sounds a perfect dahlia, Julia! I hope it flourishes for you.
Hope OH is progressing well? He’s in very capable hands I’d say!
Remember to look after you too x

Beautiful indeed! My favourite is the last one, Wylie. Dedication on your part!
Krull is a lovely puss! Those beautiful blue eyes too!

Lovely day out, Niamh having a really great time with her grandparents! I can see you in her, Karen!
Looks like you all enjoyed your day out together. Thanks for the link too 🤗

I can see why - Monty has competition! Lovely complimentary colours.

Just lovely, Sheila! Full of blooms too!

Kate, just writing you a PM.

Gorgeous!!! I’d be pleased too - love to have the space for one.

So pretty, Karen. In bloom too! I have one Nepeta in a pot which is in leaf but no blooms here yet 🤞

Shirley, I do hope you are fully recovered? I’m
Sorry to hear you’ve been unwell and in hospital. I hope your stay was a positive and supportive one 🤞
Thank you for you kind message.
Keep well and I hope the sunshine is helping x

Thanks kindly, Eileen, hope you and yours are keeping well and happy. Look forward to your pics and blogs too x

Aw thank you, Klahanie! That’s kind. I’m looking forward to catching up with your fab pics and blogs! You’ve such amazing views and the wildlife is wonderful! 🦌

Jane, I’m looking forward to seeing your garden pics - all of a sudden, everything will be in bloom!
Best wishes x

Thank you, Rose. I hope you have been keeping well! Hopefully you’ve are making the most of this lovely weather we’ve been having 🌹x

Thanks kindly, Chris. I do hope you have been keeping well! Hopefully you’ve been making the most of the lovely sunshine and enjoying the garden 🌼x

Thanks so much, Karen! I’m looking forward to catching up with your garden and all your latest posts. Keep well 🌺

Thanks Josee, hope you are keeping well, yes, it’s been quite a time of it recently! Work has felt like a 24/7 situation.
Quite stressful, not enough time in the day to feel like you’re doing everything as you should, sadly.
Hope you’ve been enjoying these glorious sunny days in the garden! 🌷

Thanks Callie, hope you are keeping well ☺️
We certainly have had some really lovely weather and such lovely blue skies too, x

Thank you, Julia, I’m happy to be back, although possibly not as frequent 🙁
April is busy at work, staff shortages still. We think it’ll be beginning of June when we’ll hopefully be back to our norm 🤞
The weather has been a real treat of recent hasn’t it!

FF..your not the only one.I enjoy
watching part of his programme..not mad on veg growing though.I do have a 'jewel' type corner which naturally evolved.

Am I the only one who watches GW, just to watch the lovely dog that follows him everywhere? I also like seeing the other gardens that are shown. I’m usually doing crosswords when he’s planting his veg seeds, or going on about the jewel gdn, so the program is mostly background for me. My garden is a mixture, like Meadowland says.

A lovely day out for you all. I took my boys to Swanage for a hol once and I seem to remember a derelict railway track.
They are in their 50’s now. I will look up the railway link, Ty for posting it.

I’m not surprised, it is really lovely.

They’re the best type, that come up every year.

I like the colour of this one. I think they look good when the colours are mixed. Love the smell of wallflowers too. They used to be sold as cut flowers in past times, but not anymore.

Thanks so much Klahanie..a gift on our anniversary 3 years ago.

It’s funny everyone is commenting on the tree fern instead of the palms. 😂

Tree ferns can grow very large in California. Some genera can grow to more than 50 ft (15 m) tall. They’re definitely not recommended for small spaces.

Lovely to smell too!!

You're right they have been wonderful to see this year. There are several shrubs blooming around here and we are enjoying them.

Beautiful flowers.

The Hyacynths have flowered well this year. Lovely to see.

Lovely combination.

Karen, your daffodils look really pretty.

Balcony, thank you so much for telling me the name of these lovely little flowers. I bought them last year and this year they've excelled themselves. They are in full sun out the front.

I agree HB...they are a delight.

Queen Emma lily a pretty tropical plant. It actually can grow larger than 10 ft (3 m), it can grow to 15 ft (4.6 m) in time. I have posted some on GoY in the past that were over 8 ft (2.5 m) tall here in San Diego. My Queen Emma lily in my front yard is 6 ft (2 m) tall. It definitely needs a lot of space, even in a pot.

That’s great! It is very satisfying to get orchids to bloom.
