spring garden

Wow Sticki that looks lovely:) We had a storm and hail again tonight an hour before that we were sitting outside having a cuppa!

you never know from one minute to the next do you?!

thanks nana ~ i thought if i took it from a distance you couldnt see the weeds!

Lovely, Sticki. I am so envious of everyone's lovely green lawns. Dear Millie has made rather a mess of mine, bless her but I wouldn't change her for the world :)

oh, dont worry Gee, you dont need to be envious ~ thats all moss!!!

Looking lovely Sticky :o)

All looking lush Sticki....gardens always look better after the rain I think! Is that a purple Rhoddie...nice colour :)

thank you plantoholic, spring is the best time for this garden ~ more colour before the leaves create quite a lot of shade

im never sure scottish which is a rhodedendron and which is an azalea, this one has the smaller delicate flowers

Neither am I...I think it has something to do with the stamen if my memory serves me right. Either way it's lovely!

Wow that's really vibrant Sticki love it...

thank you, it is covered like this every year for about two weeks, never do anything to it!

thanks SL

That's a great garden, Sticki. That bank up to the trees is my favourite bit. I'd love to see that close up. Could I put in a request?

My front grass looks like that because it is all moss, but the back grass looks even greener - because it's all clover and daisy pads. (Confession time - I like the daisies! )

i like daisies too ~ front and back garden are virtually all moss!! thanks to about 12 oak trees!!!

you want a picture of the back border ~ up to the fence you mean oji?

Yes, please. It looks really interesting.

its not very wonderful, i will see if i can find a picture that shows it; you can tell me how to make it better then.

Its on now Oji

Lovely, how great to have such mature trees behind you too....

they are lovely and i really like them there but they do cause a lot of shade ~ and leaf fall!!!

you've got lovely garden Sticki:)

Beautiful garden you have..nice all the trees in the background too :) Trees are good for the soul! Hope you hug them! ;)

Thanks kasy and pixi
No huggings! Not my thing! Minty and the squirrels climb the trees!

Aw its good to hug! ;)

What a beautiful setting for your lovely garden. It is so colourful and very pretty indeed.

It looks beautiful Sticki:-)

Lovely picture sticki - bet like me you are hassled with leaves in autumn, but eh ho I would not be without the trees I love them all.

Beautiful :o))

thank you wildrose, it is a nice setting, i can walk in those woods too which i like,
thanks BA

thank you franky and welcome to Goy

i love to cook so herbs would be very good; not much sun here though

Cider with a hint of algae! Yurk!

hmm green cider ~ no thanks!!

thank you HB ~ i do like it, but i always think it could be better!!

i quite fancy making a little shelter in the top right corner, somewhere to sit and watch the birds ~ maybe a willow structure???

mmm, there might be room behind the camellia and before the mahonia which is right in the corner ~ there is about 4 foot???

Just think Sticki ....it will all look lovely like this soon.

oh!!! thanks linda!!! well maybe ~ perhaps a few more weeds? plus a pond thats now there!

oh, that sunshine - that's what I need today....

there is sunshine here today kasy ~ hope you have some too ~ only thing is the trees are waving like mad in the wind
