A walk around my garden

Delightful, I do love spring !

Me too Pam, so exciting seeing everthing starting grow;0)

It's all looking lovely,Carole.just great to get outside...I think it was the white Primula Denticulata you had from me,as my lilac one didn't do well..although my deep purple one is coming on nicely now...I just split,and replanted your Lysimachia in the long border at the front..plenty of room to grow there :o). I love your Euphorbia..mine didn't do well at all..not sure if it was the same as yours,but a similar colour..

Wonderful garden, Carole.
Everything looking healthy and happy !
... and you have some lovely countryside in the distance.

You have a lovely garden PP. I was wondering if you have any wildlife in your little pond. Any frogspawn ?

Oh Pp. I also know pulmanaria as Soldiers & Sailors, that was my Nana saying! Your garden is looking lovely and that view from the bottom looking towards the house is lovely.

Thanks Sandra yes I have the white primula in the front garden must take a pic for you tomorrow it's lovely,dont remember buying the lavender one!
Thanks Terra yes its looking good now, just waiting for everything to come into flower, we are lucky to live in an area surrounded by the Penninehills even if it is often cold and we lol
Thanks Cinders, I had a frog in the pond last year but when I cleaned it out last week the poor thing was dead, its only a tiny pond and not that deep so the water foze solid over the winter despite my attempts to melt it, its a shame as I was looking forward to some tadpoles this year.

What a great garden, PP! All those lovely flowers and your grass is so green.
Friends of mine call Pulmonaria 'Mary and Joseph'. I suspect it has different names all over the country.
And yes, it is great to be outside in the garden again. Does us all good.

So much is going on in your garden Carole, it is looking really nice, love your garden! :)))

Your garden is looking great Carole, I love your conservatory there, smashing view you have...:)). Like you I have Cosmos seeds just coming through, they're one of my fave annuals, they look great anywhere.....

Looking great Pansy and your grass is in good condition....We have heavy rain today, so all work has stopped...The Euphorbia looks a bit like 'Amygdaloides'...:>)

Thanks everyone for all your comments

Grandmaage must be an age thing lol

Ojib Thats another new name . strange isnt it different ages and different areas have their own names for the same plant;0)

Thanks Michaella pleased you like it!

Hi Janey your Verbascum Snow Queen as come through the winter well will be featured on pt 2 Love Cosmos they are standard seed planting for me along with Lavertera great for pots and borders;0)

Hi Motinot The grass is in good condition its all the rain we have had up north, thanks for the of the Euphorbia name, will check it ot. it does sound familar

Enjoyed the wander around your lovely garden Pansy, your seedlings are doing very well, we are going to be so busy in the coming weeks, we seem to have similar taste in our likes, anything that seeds itself is always welcome here and aquilegia have long been a favourite of mine, I`m also hoping my poppies appear again this year.
Your pond area and Polly`s rockery are very pretty areas and it must be lovely seeing those hills all the time whilst relaxing in your garden..

Everything looks to be coming along nicely, good to see plants returning after a cold winter, hope we get some nice sunshine soon. Lovely garden Pansy lovely pictures, enjoyed my wander around.

I loved the walk around your Spring garden, Carole ... such a wonderful time of year in the garden with everything coming back for another season ... and your pond looks like it has always been there now ... :o)

Thanks Olivepleased youlike the little wander;0)

Thanks Shirley it is a lovely time of the year, love all the little suprises popping up all over, the pond area has really come on,just wish we had made the pond a little bigger now, but Harry thinks its just right lol

Thanks Lincs pleased you like the garden, isnt it nice to have similar tastes, we will be able to compare the progress of our seedlings, they are time consuming and I said last year I wasn't going to sow any this year, but can't bear to think of my garden without the Lavrtera ad Cosmos, great pot fillers too, hope your Poppies come back for you, are the Oriental ones or Shirley Poppies?

Gracious me Carole your beautiful garden looks so neat and well tended it all looks as if its just waiting for the starter gun ready to burst into leaf and flower. Luv griff fireglow mine seems to be taking an age for its new growth to get going, still at least its survived the winter.

Hi Stroller Thanks for your lovely comments, It has taken me all week to get it like this, but worth it I can just sit back now and watch everything come into flower;0) I also like griff Fire Glow dont remember it having this much colour last year! The family have all just left so time to sit back and relax now and enjoy my lovely gifts;0))

Your garden is lovely Carole. Nice to see all your plants waking up. I like the name soldiers and sailors - never heard it before lol.
I bought a similar Primula to yours. If I can find the label I'll let you know the name :o)

Thanks Hywel pleased you like it, does the name Sweet Dreams ring a bell, every time I look at it that name comes to mind;0)

all looking lovely and tidy and seeds comming along great carole :o)))

Lovely pictures, lovely colour and a lovely garden.

Thanks Sticki and Sandra for your comments, I have reat hopes for my seeds ;0))

Your garden is soooo tidy Carole, I've been working on mine for days, hours at a time, it looks nothing like this. I've got a massive white daisy, think leucanthemum aiglaia, but could be wrong as I bought a few types, and tried for ages to dig it up to split...nothing doing....won't budge lol and it's only been in 1 full season. I need a gardener lol. Some celandine poking their leaves through although all out war was declared when I had the makeover...has to be glyphosate on them, I hate using poison:-( How do you keep yours so manageable? Love your view towards the house too, gorgeous:-)

Thanks for your comments BA My garden isnt very big and I spend lots of time keeping on top of things, I dont have any real problems or Thug plants, but have noticed some leaves I can't identify in one area, think they are something very invaisive so Im going to attempt to dig them out tomorrow! my main problem is Slugs, I hate them, they always eat my Lupins and Delphiniums and recently some young Salvia which I grew from seeds from Simbad, soul destroyng! Hope you manage to split your Daisy plant and get rid of your Celandine;0))

Pp, today I noticed many Daffodil heads have been nibbled almost to nothing ... the shorter varieties especially ... on closer inspection I found the tiniest slugs within ... so I made up a jug of garlic spray and have sprayed virtually any and every plant that looks damaged ... I really hope it works as I don't use slug pellets ... :o)

Neither do I Shirley..Not sure if Garlic spray works on them,but worth a try..surely they won't like the smell !
Sending you a PM ...

How awful ;0( you will have to let me know if your Garlic spray works, Good Luck! I hope it does wipe the Blighters out!!!

Sandra, you should have seen the expression on Megan's face when she went out out after I had used the garlic spray ... last saw her jumping over the fence ito a better perfumed garden ... lol! .....

Carole, it is supposed to kill Aphids and deter snails and slugs ... I shall let you know if it works .....

Aww poor Megan, hopeshe has come back again;0))

Yes, she's never out of sight for too long! ... :o)

;0)))

what a delightful garden, the rockery and the pond area are just breathtaking, bravo!

Lovely photos, and love the variety.

Thanks Cedille and Pennylane pleased you like the garden;0)

I found the label of my Primula. It's called Pink Ice - a very pale colour. I don't think yours is the same. Sorry :o(

Hywel have found my Primula's label Sweet Dreams I new it was sweet somwthing lol

That's good then :o)
