Garden Pics, Lots of them!

It's cool and fresh and sunny and an ideal gardening day, so, before I start the work here are some pictures.

You really do finally get the impression that Sumer is icomen in! :o)

I was singing along in bad medieval English, farting goats and all!

Svmer is icumen in
Lhude sing cuccu
Groweþ sed
and bloweþ med
and springþ þe wde nu
Sing cuccu

Awe bleteþ after lomb
lhouþ after calue cu
Bulluc sterteþ
bucke uerteþ

murie sing cuccu
Cuccu cuccu
Wel singes þu cuccu
ne swik þu nauer nu

Sing cuccu nu • Sing cuccu.
Sing cuccu • Sing cuccu nu

Forget me nots and lilacs ... just about my favourite flowers after roses. You have a splendid display of colour, Deb, and beautiful gardens.

The scent is heavenly! Garden is a bit "between seasons scruffy" but the basic structure is good so we can get away with it till the daddofils die back.

Yes, I can imagine the scent. I have a lilac right by the gate and these past few weeks have been wonderfully scented as we left or arrived back at the house. I love that dark coloured lilac you have but can't get it in Spain, just the classic lilac-lilacs.
:)
We are in France right now and in the village here the lilacs are splendid and it's perfume heaven.

Beautiful gardens!

Thank you!

Very nice! We just have bulbs and the apple blossoms but, of course, we still have a little snow and frost.

[deborahw37]

Believe it or not it was snowing here a fortnight ago and we're still getting the odd ground frost, the daffodils are only just over, the tulips are still blooming, strange weather this year

No wonder you have to spend a lot of time with the garden - there's a lot of it isn't there!

Pretty flowers! I have a geranium like that - they are great ground cover aren't they?

[deborahw37]

It's a fair sized garden and deserves rather more time than we give to it

And I adore ground cover! That Geranium and the Comfrey and Periwinkles save me no end of weeding:)
