IN OUR GARDEN 2024

A perfect bit of cover for the birds, Eric.

Amazing how many birds are still foraging in our garden for stuff to build nests. This morning pigeons and blackbirds flying off with long strands of stuff

Same up here. I guess that it has been the awful weather that has held things back.

I did see a cock Sparrow displaying to a hen, yesterday.

One Lilly has decided to bloom.



But, there are plenty more to come.







The Escalonia has opened in the last couple of days.



The scent off this is superb.

Lovely pics again Steve. Your garden must look lovely with such a variety of plants and colours. We don't have any lawns front or back. Much prefer bushes etc that give us colour throughout the year

It's very sparse at present. I have not planted any bedding yet, due to the miserable weather. Lots of cold, northerly winds, for weeks, although forecast to improve from Wednesday.

This is what a couple of weeks of cold wind can do.



In contrast, a wee bit of shelter from that wind.







The weather has started to improved, so we bought some bedding yesterday.




The prices are high up here. What you see in that picture, plus two 5 lt. bags of compost, cost £145. We would usually buy twice that amount, and could fill the garden for a little over £100.
