Me again! took some more photos of the garden today (am getting very frustrated at not being able to do much!!) everything is looking good, except you can tell i haven’t been able to do anything there are lots of dandelions all over the flipping place!! look even amongst the cowslips!
The Cherry tree i got from Tescos is looking great, no flowers this year but fingers crossed for next, can’t remember the name of it!! When will i learn to put lables somewhere safe or write them in my garden book!!
The tulips are looking good not for much longer i suppose as they are fully open now, these have been in for years and never fail me.
Be cutting some rhubarb tomorrow planted last year so probably not much this year, enough for a crumble mmmmm!
The rosemary is in flower and the bees love it! The hellebores are looking really good lots of new leaves coming through, all in all apart from the dandelions things are really getting into their stride now, my mini greenhouse is bursting at the seams!!!

Dandelions are just everywhere this year - it's a good year for them for some reason.
Pretty tulips, Skilla!

May I borrow some bunnies, please? Husband cut the grass, but lots of the dandelions lay down until the mower had gone past, then sat up again!

Lovely photos Sk cute cherry tree! I can understand how frustrated you are at not being able to get out and work in the garden its so frustrating and so I’m told (oops don’t know what he means!) it makes me very grumpy!! I’m still only able to stand for 20 minuets at a time before it looks like I’ve been in the vimto. But I am getting very good at directing operations from my greenhouse stool. ;0)

I can't believe that I actually grew a row of dandelions one year (from Thompson and Morgan seed)! They were in their catalogue and suggested you ate the leaves in salad, made wine from the flowers and roasted and ground the roots to make a coffee-like drink. Unfortunately I moved house between sowing and harvesting them, so didn't get to try them. I'm not sure what the new owners thought of my gardening skills when they found I was growing dandelions!!

Those Dandelions look like they were planted with the cowslips Sewingkilla, they look pretty. Just make sure you grab the "clocks" and they won't set seed elsewhere in the garden. They can then be pulled up when you're up to it, if you still don't want them!

Great photos too. Love it.
