Spring is here and the garden is looking lovely.

Dom smiles when he looks at the lawn. The blood, fish and bone that we spread on it a few weeks ago has finally rewarded us with thicker blades and a wonderful deep green colour. We've mowed it a couple of times already this year, weeded and trimmed the edges. Our next job is to seed and feed the bare patches. Look at the improvement since we scarified it last year.


I smile when I look at the flowers, and the new growth. The tulips are finished, but the bugle I planted a few years ago and the phlox look healthy, the hardy gerberas are unfurling, the geraniums are beginning to flower and my most recent addition, the delicate looking forget-me-nots I bought yesterday will brighten up the tricky shady areas in our back garden.
