Some views of my front garden taken this morning.

I do like it, and how quickly things move on! I love the zingy reds with the acid green of the hosta leaves. It's looking quite vibrant; glad you two had fun. I'm back outside in a minute - just popped in to check out a couple of plants. Never seen red flax. That sounds interesting and will look forward to pictures.

Looking really good Hywel. Well done on making a lovely job of it. Bella enjoying it too.

gosh this has come on, its amazing what a bit of sun can do. glad bella has settled in and is enjoying her life with you.

The garden is looking good and now the weather has warmed everything will take off nicely. The Hostas and Begonias are looking nice and plump and healthy, no slug attacks there!
The annuals will soon put on a spurt of growth and make a lovely show, whatever they are.
Bella obviously knows the bricks and slabs hold the heat and are warmer than sitting on the garden - or she's well trained!
I wouldn't worry about the cracked slab, gives it character and you could always tuck a thyme or sedum in the crack to cover it.

Its looking very nice Hywel..... :)))

It's looking great, and Bella looks very content sunning herself there.

It all looks very nice and colourful Hywel. You also have a beautiful cat!

It looks great Hywel. I've been thinking of sprinkling some seeds to fill the gaps, but knowing me I would mistake them for weeds when they started coming up and pull them all up again!

It's coming up a treat, Hywel, lots of colour already and more to look forward to. I love that hosta, how are you managing to keep it slug free? I have to keep mine in pots!

There will be plenty of colour there in a few weeks Hywell........What a great help Bella is! I'm sure you wouldn't be able to manage the garden without her!!! lovely that you have a new companion in your garden!

Love Bella too. Garden coming on nicely now.

is that a heuchera I see in your garden Hywel? Which one is it? Neat colourful space, well done.

Its looking really attractive Hywel, the plants you have chosen stand out really well against the red brick, Bella amuses me, I think you have a real lady there, she always looks so superior in the photo's, almost as though she's doing you a favour by allowing you to take the photo's, lol......

Looking really good and plenty of colour. Bella looks so at home.

Thank you all for reading about my front garden, and for your comments :o)

Tuesdaybear, Red Flax is a pretty annual. It grows a few inches high and is the brightest red colour. I hope they are the ones that have germinated.

Honeysuckle, thank you about the cracked slab. I think I'll take your advice :o)

Gee, there are no slugs in that soil yet. It is new soil I had delivered, to fill in behind the wall, and the slugs have not found their way to it yet lol.

Freeasabird, There are 2 Heucheras there. Someone from GoY sent them to me, but I can't remember who lol. One of the Heucheras is Sweet Tea. I can't remember the other one. If I remembered who sent them, I would be able to ask ... but I can't ...

The garden looks lovely, Hywel. What a difference since you redid it! It's filling out beautifully and the colours are lovely.

Your front garden is looking really good Hywel, nice to see Bella knows how to pose to enhance your flower garden, all coming along nicely in the sunshine :o)

Cant believe how quickly your garden has matured Hywel...Its looking lovely...:>)

This looks lovely Hywel... I was wondering when we'd see some pics of your front. You've done a really good job, everything looks nice and healthy, and really manageable ... smashing!:-)

Thank you all for your encouraging comments :o)

Looks lovely, Hywel, you must be very pleased with your project.

Plenty of colour Hywel and plenty more to come! It looks ever so neat and tidy now that Bella has got the weeding down to a T :)
Its good to see she has really settled in.

It,s come on really well you would think it always been like that lovely .

Lovely to see how nice your garden now looks, Hywel! It's a real credit to you! Bella looks so content there in the sunshine! :-))

It's all looking good Hywel. I particularly like that lime green Hosta :o)))

Well done.
