Garden Update!

Mam and Dad sent up some plants for the new bed we dug out. I've got some Pentsemon, Veronica, Aquilegia, Montbretia, Colchium, Douglasii Phlox, Dogtooth Violets a Voodoo Lilly and two tomato plants for Pedro!

Hanging baskets filling out a bit...

The lillies are budding up still...

The strawberries are coming on nicely!

As is my quince, I really hope it flowers this year...

The two tomato plants and...

...just look at the size of those blooms!! :D

Back to London and my garden!

 A week away and the garden has gone crazy! My rose has finally blossomed and here's the first rose of summer (sung in the tune of the Irish last rose of summer!) It's HUGE and smells divine.
My Rhododendron looks like it's had it though, but the Lupin that was on it's death bed has battled through the plague of aphids my gardens under and has buds. My Fuschia's budding up and the Geraniums out the front are in flower.

Ranunculus from the other week forgot to post it! 

Even my xmas tree is getting in on the flowering front.

I've had these come up which I've completely forgotten the name of! I think they might be a type of Allium perhaps?

And my two types of Wild Sorrel in bloom, so cheery!

And lo and behold! Strawberries! Won't be ready in time for Wimbledon, but looks like I'm going to have a bumper crop from my pot this year!

Garden update!

Lionel unsurprisingly isn't enjoying the hot weather.

The bluebells are coming on though, and my persian buttercups are flowering.

And the first strawberry flower is out!

 

I also tidied up my window boxes after about 3/4 years of just letting them do their own thing! Separated out the geraniums and the muscari and pruned back all the dead stalks.

The second window box seems to have faired the worse through the winter for some reason, so hope it catches up! 

Spring time flowering!

Strawberries are romping away and the sweet peas are coming on nicely. The tulips finally flowered!!
