Bigroot Geranium
This is called a big root geranium. I didn’t know this when I got it, thinking it was just a normal geranium like my grandma used to have. Nope, this one is different.
Starting as just an ordinary small plant i bought for my wedding anniversary a couple of years ago. It’s growing and spreading. Creating a small little patch of green and pink. It’s lovely. Smells a bit weird when you touch the leaves, but the bugs like it.
The bees however, love it. There were 3 different types yesterday, but they move quickly so not the easiest to catch!
I have now taken a section of it and planted in another pot, so I can move some of that awesome pink colour around the garden.

A little patch of wild
This little patch seems to be quite happy this year. I’ve cleared some of the weeds which were looking to clog it up, but left everything else as it is. Its a small strip at the edge of the lawn, but happily houses the redcurrant bush, bluebells, a few other plants and a geranium which is slowly raging out of control at the other end. But, I did find an angle shade caterpillar under the geranium this morning, and bees were enjoying it as well, so it’s doing a good job for now.

Buds in the garden
Every day there seems to be more and more happening. Today was filled with finding buds, bugs and Bees 😁
These things are all a bit late on developing this year as the cold has slowed them down. But they’ll progress quickly now I think if we can have a few more days of sunshine and rain.

This years garden #1
Its all coming along nicely now. Some flowers giving it colour, tiny gooseberries forming and Bees starting to stop by. Lavendar, geranium and strawberries all seem to be a favourite so far. The nasturtiums and a sweetpeas are poking through, and I may have scattered more poppy seeds than I should have. We’ll see.

Daffodils in the garden
A lovely bit of sunshine in the garden yesterday gave Spring the boost it needed to get settled it.

Sweetpea Pink
A lovely flower that reminds me of my grandmother. She had them growing in their garden and would have a small bunch fresh on the table when they were in season. They look and smell really pretty and brighten up the garden nicely.
This is one of the very few photos I have of an organgetip butterfly, they are so quick and rarely land, but this one let me take a few pictures.
