How does your garden grow?

Mines doing well, rampant dandelions, I've been dea heading them so I hopefully dont' get more.

The blossom is out on the trees and my currants have loads of flowers, so do the strawberries and raspberries. The rhubarb has bolted, I'm not sure why, maybe the shock of going from winter to spring in a few days?

I planted 5 hyssop plants and a verbascum, the hyssop is good, all the creatures love it, it's perrenial and it can be used as part of a zataar herb mix and it's good for chest problems like COPD. I love plants that serve so many purposes.

I have buds on the hydrangeas already, maybe I'll have two lots of flowering?

I planted some romanesco cauliflowers and they've just started coming up, but I'm still waiting for the kallets I planted at the same time.

  • It's a riot of colour, roses, ceanothus, fox gloves, marigolds, some tall pink things I don't remember planting, granny's bonnets and some big blue spikey things, who's name I've forgotten and of course dandilions, they just get everywhere.

    In another bed I've got orange, and different pink roses, hyssop, lavender, verbascum and ceanothus.

    I'm waiting for my oxygenating pond plants to arrive so I can plant that up too and finish it off nicely
