It must be Spring!

Well done Sheila, for both adding the photos and sharing the lovely blooms you have in your garden. It really does give one a boost to be outdoors at last!

Yesterday I planted the new Amelanchier and today have moved a Camellia from a pot to a larger pot, didn't have enough ericaceous compost though so it's not a finished job yet ... :o(

Thanks Shirley, and at least you were doing something in the garden! Is your new Amelanchier in bud? Ours is covered with them … just hope the pesky pigeons leave some for us 🙂.

Sheila, I had been searching for an A. 'Obelisk' as I needed something columnar to fill a gap where an old Eleagnus shrub had been take out. Nobody seemed to have one and I didn't want to buy on-line, then as luck would have it there was an A. 'Rainbow Pillar', similar growth habit to the Obelisk'.
It has buds on so I'm hoping for good things.

On the other hand, the Crabapple that was planted a couple of years ago it not growing at all well. The leader seems to have been damaged, no doubt by a fat, clumsy Pigeon or two. There seems to be more and more of them lately, all trying to find a partner too ... :o(

I shall do my best to regenerate the Crabapple with some pruning, it has two chances really!

How nice to see your blog Sheila...and to see your Spring plants.We do seem to be having at least one sunny day occasionally! Yesterday after our usual Sunday walk I fed a few plants with general fertiliser. There are signs of new growth at the bases.

Thanks Julia, I also used some feed yesterday, on my Kolkwitzia (beauty bush) having pruned some wonky branches … it has plenty of buds so hoping to see flowers this year 🤞.

Nice to see spring has arrived in your garden Sheila :) I'm glad you're making the most of the weather ...

It has been a lovely few days, hasn't it and spent most of it catching up in the garden.
Unfortunately there is rain forecast here for the next 4 days. Hope they are wrong and it's going to be colder too!
Your garden definitely look like spring has come.

I couldn’t agree more. I feel I am coming back to life with my garden! Lovely flowers Sheila.

Nice to see your blog Sheila. Spring is showing up nicely in your garden.

Thanks very much Hywel, Rose, Karen and Klahanie 🙂.

Lots of lovely spring colour in your garden, Sheila! Isn't it wonderful how a few warm sunny days came make the spring flowers burst into life? :)

Absolutely… thanks David!
