April, Hope Bringer.

Your Tulip is beautiful, such soft warm colours, and as for the rest of your borders they are truly showing off all the beauty of spring.
Like you my garden is full of forget-me-nots which I luv until they start to go mildewy.

Thanks Stroller, my garden would be pretty bare without them at the moment. It will probably take a few years to look ok after the makeover. I think it was you who had the lovely rose Mortimer Sackler which I bought from David Austin last winter and can't wait to see it in flower. If it wasn't you, just ignore the last comment lol:-)

You have a beautiful garden! I love it, full of lovely plants! :))))

Hello bornagain, your passion for gardening clearly shows, your garden looks great, i just love the forget- me- nots, julien.

your underplanting is lovely too Ba and complements the plants very well-- It doesn't bore me but sometimes I wish I could comment as the blog goes along as I forget and have to keep going back!
we had a good storm last night with a lot of heavy much needed rain and todays overcast & cooler.....

What a lovely garden you have now Stroller - so well planted and colourful. The tulip colour is so harmonius and soft - and your heucheras are very varied too.

I should think yoou are very proud of yourself now.

Well done and Happy Gardening.

Thanks Michaella, I hope all is well with you? I'm going to look if you have anything new on as soon as I can:-)

Hi Julien, thanks, nice to hear from you again:-)

\0/ hello Pam, no storm here yet nor any rain so I have to keep watering pots and occasionally borders, especially newly planted pretties. It is cooler and overcast though so I'll have to bring babies in I think. I'll just check forecast for tonight. The setting sun has just escaped clouds and shone brilliantly through the window to blind me, a bit late lol:-)

you're not boring me, i loved your plants and your garden; normally those tulips wouldnt be a colour i would choose but i loved those ~ the light coming through them makes them look very special.
in the photo with all the really nice heucharas you have a very blue flower ~ what is it? [not the forget me nots] i have forget me nots too ~ i like them, nice colour and no trouble.

Hi Mariek, thanks for your kind comments. This site has given me so many ideas. I'm the bornagain gardener by the way lol:-)

Your garden is looking wonderful Ba,and I love the forget me nots too,and the tulips.Your Heucheras are coming on a treat.:o) Glad you enjoyed Holmfirth,and look forward to seeing your blog,and some familiar sights.:o)

so not watse land , lol................ just hevenly ........... and like you lone forget me nots , remind me of my dad ........... i like the way the grass grows tho them , only nature can do that carnt she ;0)))
i have lots of heucheras as well , and quite surprize how much they shoot up , colour are brilliant

Lovely planting BA, I love forget me nots too but only when in flower. I've had nearly all my daffs planted in pots for several years now. I sink them in the ground when in flower then put them in a sheltered place for the rest of the year. They've fared much better than the few that are in the ground, maybe your soil is heavier than mine. Bone dry here too :o((

My kind of garden, Ba, The Forget-me-nots give a lovely blue haze in the borders and I'd hate to be without them in the Spring. Gorgeous Heuchera varieties and such a lovely Dicentra. Boring? Not at all! : o ))

love forget me nots - wouldnt be without them.
Your Heucheras are lovely. Mine have come into flower and lost the lovely colour. Next year I'm going to cut the flowers off and see if that helps!

\0/ Hi Sticki, do you mean the corydalis blue dragon? It flowers for ages too. It was one I bought from Vicky (plantagogo) thanks for your kind comments:-)

Thanks Bloomer:-) the house we stayed in was lovely, though up a depth. Still, fantastic views:-)

Thanks Cristina, at my old garden I buried a special little dog called Beanie, and the next year forget- me- nots grew there. It was the first time they had come to the garden:-)

i dont know BA ~ its in the middle of the 7th picture ~ not very tall

Thanks Lily, I haven't bothered much with bulbs really and pushed the boat out this year ordering from DeJager. I think they got too wet and rotted in the pots, such a shame. Must buy some gravel:-(

To the left of the dicentra goldheart as you look at it? corydalis blue dragon Sticki:-)

ah, ok, thank you ~ i shall look out for it ~ very nice.

\0/ yoohoo shirley, thanks, it's so exciting after the awful winter...always seems like a miracle:-)

Hi Sarah, thanks. Which heucheras do you have? Mine don't seem to lose their colour after flowering although they all seem to change a little through the year as they mature. You should have a 'word' with Vicky as she's the expert, maybe she can advise. I wouldn't like to lose the flowers, I've only started to appreciate them recently lol:-)

Gorgeous blog and picts, Ba! So lovely to see how your newly designed garden is coming into its own...It is still so early in the year, yet the warm sunshine is bringing everything on so much...
I saw and loved that Dicentra too..it has the most amazing coloured leaves...I am sooooo tempted! There you go leading me astray again!\0/...lolx

Doesn't take much does it Flori? I've had this dicentra for years and it never lets me down....buy one lol:-)

What a lovely spring garden, Spring wouldnt be spring without the pretty Forget me nots, the Tulips are a wonderful soft pastel I much prefer them to the bolder brighter colours and your border with the Heruchers and Dicentra is magic, I for one wouldnt want to be anywhere but the garden on these balmy sunny days we are enjoying, thanks for sharing;0))

Thanks Pp, I agree, I think we all try to make our own little bit of heaven, and sometimes, bathed in sun, we feel we're almost there:-)) A lot cooler here today, a little wind and overcast:-(

Your gardens looking lovely Ba, so much colour

Thanks Annella, what you up to?
