The Garden in Spring

It was the daffodils that first put in an appearance in February. The photo above was taken on the 16th. In March they were in full bloom.

And here we are in mid April when those daffodils are over, but the later flowering ones are at their best, especially the white Narcissus Tresamble. Apparently they started to be grown before 1930.

Back to March and the grass needed a cut.

And the hyacinth were showing well.

As were the pots of tulips.

And the primroses. New growth of  achilea and lychnis are just showing alongside.

Into early April and the flowering currant I saved from extinction a couple of years ago has never been better.

The forget-me-nots have taken over the borders.

The tulips are doing fine.

March was the time to spread my home grown compost to the borders.

Last week 's sunny weather was perfect to get out and jet wash the pavings.

But the back patio only needed a quick treatment with patio magic and that was just about good enough.
