Slowly moving forward......in search of summer.

 I love corners.     A microclimate, where the heat from the house keeps plants warm on cold nights.     Clematis, hydrangea and a pretty annual (whose name I cannot remember )

 Beneath the kitchen window......an olive tree, white cosmos, fuchsia and agapanthus.     Cannot wait to see them in full bloom.

Planters are looking good.    I have six of these on the deck.
The weather has been so changeable, so each night I cover them with small poly tunnels.   It has worked well.

 I am always scattering seeds at the end of the gardening year.
Honesty has appeared here and there.   I love the white, so was pleased to find this one at the end of the garden.   Lovely at dusk.

 Red Campion dominates this garden in  late Spring.   A favourite with bees and night flying moths........and me :)

 Rosa rugosa beneath the old hawthorn tree......the scent is amazing in this area.   The combination of rose and hawthorn fragrance is beautiful.

 Planted the hanging baskets.....concentrating more on the container this year.     I love the black velvet petunia.....actually feels like velvet.

Sadly one of the first trees we planted here has departed.     Beautiful salix integra.....it will stay for a while.     Dominic likes to try and climb it.    I shall decorate with balloons when it is party time.    For the moment, the bird cage full of plants makes an attractive addition.................
