Just a little look

43 comments


Just a little look around the garden, early May. Plenty of leaf colour, not a lot of flowers at the moment, and if only I could get out to mow the grass, but hopefully today I may be able to do that, sun shining at the moment, just waiting for it to dry a little bit before getting the mower out.

its looking good Cinders, beautiful 'blues' in there. Raised beds & retaining walls are such a pleasing feature.
I think there's a few of us waiting to get the mowers out also. Maybe later!

You've been working hard! Looks lovely and much tidier than my garden. I particularly like the clematis. My montana rubens is out but no flowers on any of my others yet - but they are looking healthy with all the rain!!

Lovely garden very nice .Great pictures:))))

Hi Bampy, thanks for lovely comments, the raised beds and retaining walls have been there a number of years now, but its fairly easy to maintain. My biggest problem is cramming everything so close together, but there, I don't get many weeds that way.

Thankyou Floss, clematis is macropatella Lagoon. This is its first year, so am very pleased with it.

You have a lovely garden Cinders, I really like the way you have designed it with the little curved walls, there is a lot of colour, I love the clematis, pleased you managed to cut the grass, I always feel better if I can get that job done...

6 May, 2012

 

Hello Lincs, thank you, the walls were done by my late husband about twenty years ago, but I change the planting from time to time, as we all do, and yes I have mown and trimmed the edges so feel happier now, it always makes it look better doesn't it/

Hi Sandra, thank you, yes it was a busy day, but I have to keep stopping to relax my back, which is a nuisance, but after a few minutes rest I go back for another go. Must be age catching up !! Pretty little clematis isnt it.
