just got home from work and thought i would have a look around my garden to see how my plants are growing and also to check for lilie beetles as i found one yesterday, as i thought on my new lily growth i found another 2 grrr, so grabbed them off and they got the sole of my shoe, dreaded things, so looks like they survived the winter unfortunatly, nasty red devils.
anyway looking around and finding my perenials are coming along nicely, may have to split a few next time because they are getting quite close together now
bleeding heart opening and looking lovely with the daffs
peony(chinese tree) alot bigger this year, wonder if it will give me blooms , i do hope so
chaenomeles crimson and gold in flower at the moment but doesnt seem alot bigger, maybe its not in the right place
also my campanula persiciflolia alba is alot bigger and should give me alot more flowers this year, and one of my delphiniums to.
my clematis constance is in bud, quite alot as well so looking forward to them opening
and also 3 of my lilies are coming up so as long as the red devils dont munch them all up i should get some pretty lilies
and one for ray my marsh marigold has started to flower, isnt nature wonderfull ;o)))
lots more but didnt have time to take more pics, baz home for tea so hope you have all had a great day, cant wait to get out at weekend if weather holds

I agree, nature is a wonderful thing and I marvel every day at what the garden holds in store for me. And to think that less than 18 months ago, I had absolutely NO interest in any of it, whatsoever!
