A better photo

Can’t believe I’ve had two years off these wallflowers I’m glad I didn’t pull them out, although they did smother my hyacinth a bit. Next door has dismantled his summer house ! Watch this space lovecheesy

Lovely tulips Barbara, and very lovely sunshine!

I always think it's a shame to pull up wallflower when you can get another year or 2 from them. Lovely tulips Barbara,. A few from Jenny's garden.

Lovely Ladygardener, my niece and Sister called yesterday and asked me where she could buy a magnolia stallata , I had seen one just last week in the garden Center down the road. Men’s garden is looking really established now.

It's looking like it's doing ok without me I think.

T & M strikes again, these tulips were supposed to be Avignon

T& M do their own thing again Tig, what a shame, they're lovely 'tho but not even remotely like what you'd ordered.

I knew what you ment maggy, your tulips are beautiful in the sunshine.

Thanks for your kind words ladies. The whole idea is to make the garden a bit less labour intensive without changing the ethos of it too much. I've just spent a few days there and am really pleased with it all.

Actually the tulips in the pots havent done well at all because of lack of rain, I have some nice purple ones but one lot dried up in bud, Im not one for watering this time of year because of the low night and morning temps.,

Love the vibrant pink blossom, very eye catching. The exochorda macrantha niagara I bought from Hayloft in 2018 has finally flowered, it is very slow growing.

The exochorda macrantha niagara is a beautiful shrub, I had a little google. I'd say now that it has established itself it will continue to bloom well for you and won't get too big.
