After a very very slow start to the season (essentially no spring until May), there is life in the garden.
I've only just planted Nasturtium seeds - in a new little bed in the former Lambing paddock, put there to soak up some of the excess water around there - in pots and in a space in the raised bed where something (cat? dog?...) has dug up my recently planted spring onion. Netting over this now to discourage whichever beastie has been digging.
So just a load of photos to remind me where things are this mid-May:
Woad
New little raised border -some bulbs etc planted
A good crop of rhubarb this year - 3 pies so far:
Sour Cherry tree:
Little milt-headed daffs. - tough cookies!
"Love Lies Bleeding" - suddenly erupted:
Some apple blossom appearing and Huddie's beloved agility run:
Lyme tree didn't disappoint:
New bed in old lalmbing paddock
Swingig CDs might ward off the birds
Ground cover:
Window box - transplanted a little evergreen and added some aubretia - I think
Cleaned up some older pottings:
Another tough cookie:
Returning - have to look out for slugs:
Chives, marjoram, thyme, rosemary in the loo:
A good year for cowslips - they (and dandelions) seem to like this foul weather
Crab apple:
Garlic, spring onions and pushy fennel:
someone's been digging in it GRRR need netting!
Somewhat sad looking little gem lettuce and spinach
hope they pick up later
