Gorgeous pics Terra. It's increasingly showery here. I've done all my jobs for the day, but can't get out to put my tools away. Never mind. Your garden is very 'you'....all light and bright and colourful. I love looking at it!

I love those two dogs, they are so funny and such stars in your garden, they give it that something extra. Special garden and lovely pictures cheers me up on a very cold wet day in Lincolnshire.

Wonderful as always Terra! So much bright colour its so good to see. Love the Tiarella, my OH says they remind her of christmas trees - may have to get some :)

15 May, 2013

 

Lovely pics as usual Terra, 6.30pm and I've just spotted a tiny bit of blue amongst the clouds, its been a proper day for staying indoors and doing the housework.
Conker and Truffle had the right idea and Crocus certainly has the windswept look which is very much the style this year......

15 May, 2013

 

Love your garden Terra ....

Love all the photos especially " The Boys" they look so contented, oh to be a dog! garden looking as slick and pristine as ever, can you tell me which tree is it with the beautiful blossom (the one pic before the last) so stunning against the blue sky.....

15 May, 2013

 

Right, I've decided, Terra.
I'm moving in to your changing room. ;-)

Thanks Michaella, Kidsgran, Oliveoil, Pam, Tuesdaybear, Warwick, Sheila, Nick, Jent, Sue, Stripes, Hywel, PP, Linda, Moti, Tony, Neena, Sue, Dotty and Mouldy...

I hope the sun is shining for you all today ...

Crocus tweets thanks to Pam, Sue and Neena for their advice and compliments on his hairdo .. he spends hours in the styling salon ;o)

Hi Nick ..
Thank you ... and your OH is correct ..
Tiarellas would look sparkly in your lovely garden :o)

Thanks Dotty ...
The blossoming tree has several names, but I've always known it by its early name of Prunus Oku Miyako ... my favourite variety ...

Hello Mouldy ...
You're welcome in the changing room ...
but those gnomes are queueing again ;o)

16 May, 2013

 

Great photos TT, lovely flowers and some super-duper hair do's there! It was about 6pm when the skies cleared here :o))

... and I've been clambering over my pergola ...
... trimming climbers .. branches everywhere :o))

16 May, 2013

 

All so very beautiful as always. I never realised tiarella was so attractive. Is that Conker's tail or his chest hair?
Nice to see the little robin still singing his heart out - he looks so grand against the blue sky.

16 May, 2013

 

beautifull photos Terra of your garden, the colours are so dreamy and even though its not warm they make me feel warmer.

Thanks Stera ..
Tiarella has pretty flowers, doesn't it :o)
Conker was sleeping upside down, so that is his lovely long white neck hair falling over his face... Lol.
The robin sings till way after sunset ... amazing enthusiasm and energy !

Hi Sandra..

Regardless of what the weather throws at us your garden always looks remarkable, I reckon its that intrepid team you have beside you so rock on Crocus, Truffle and Conker your doing a wonderful job.

18 May, 2013

 

Fabulous photos as always, I think my favourite is that baby rosemary plant, I do love baby plants, they are so cute! Conker and Truffle are looking as handsome as ever too hope they soon get the sunny days and warmer weather they are dreaming of!

18 May, 2013

 

Hi Mouldy ...
Gnomes keeping you in place ?
... just elf 'n' safety ;o)

Hello Stroller ...
My gardening team sends thanks for your kind comments :o)

Thanks Louisa ...
I'm glad you like the baby Rosemary plant ... yes ... great fun watching the baby plants grow ...

Still waiting for warmer days .. last Thursday was sunny and I clambered up ladders to trim some climbing plants, but Conker and Truffle need some hot sunshine !

18 May, 2013

 

Oh yes, Pailibin looks like miniature, but it will grow 1.5x1.5 m in a less then 10 years. Then he will overcome the Bride, as it is really full of flowers, almost just flowers.
I love that bright photo with white flowers on the tree. Is it cherry?
Aaah, that thinking of a sunny day in a warm bed was really comfortable ;-)

19 May, 2013
