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 😁

Rose bud
Carnation bud
Wood Avens (St. Benedict’s herb)
Loganberry bud

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.
