May has sprung

All looking lovely, Warwick. I love marsh marigolds too and the saxifrage is very pretty. My aquilegias are at about the same stage, tho' one or two have opened more fully now. Even on my clay soil they manage to self seed and hybridise, which is great. Lovely garden for you and Millie to enjoy in the evenings. We could do with it warming up a bit yet to do that but at least the garden should be looking ok for when the time comes.

Wow .. lots of colour ...
well done Warwick ... garden looking great ..
the dicentra are doing well and erisymum are looking wonderful ... cute little self-seeded pansy :o)

All looking very good, love those Marsh Marigolds, always look cheerful. My aquilegias are at the same stage, just waiting for the first flower to open now. Hope you show us a photo of that Rhodo when it opens, hope it survives the pesky cats.

Thanks Tuesdaybear yes aquilegias are such good does I think, :-)

Thanks Terra, I've not been one for erysimums but these I think have won me over. :-)

Thanks Louisa yes I'll definitely do that, I did a log last year I think about it. :-)

Smashing flowers Slad...sorry, Warwick...I like Slad, it is like Vlad! :)))

Hi Warwick, those hybrid saxes are little jewels. And red pansy has really beautiful colour. Self-made beauty. I think rhodie is missing iron in the soil.

Nice to see your plants. They are doing well :o)

Thanks Karen, lol yes :-)

Thanks Kat, it's had a good supplement of feed and ericaceous compost mixed and mulched, I moved it from the cats area they we squirting it 2-3 times a day.

Thanks Hywel. :-)

Beautiful, lots going on in your garden!

Thanks Michaella :-)

You are so ahead of me here in Wales plenty of foliage on my aquilegias but no buds just lovely to see your plants !

Nice blog, you plants are looking good, the aquilegia bed is going to be good. I noticed today that I have a few buds on mine too

lovely mate - your hearts are out !!! Ours are startign to form at last - only about 3 months late lol

Thanks Kidsgran, I'm sure yours will soon be flowering.

Thanks Cinders, they are great filler plants I always say.

Cheers Paul, you did have all that extra snow mate, I just had rain.. Yours will soon be out :-)

They're forming now, cannot believe how much survived the snow :)))

All looking lovely, S'lad ... I can just imagine the wonderful scent by the Erysimums ... gorgeous .. :o)

Great blog, Surrey. Look forward to the next.
Trained Millie to fetch the beer yet?
The perfect summer. Bliss. ;-)

That's good to here Paul :-)

Thanks Shirley, yes the scents wonderful especially in the evening :-)

Cheers Mouldy, lol no she'd probably drink it before i had a chance.. :-)

Bad workman always blames the tool, Surrey. Lol.

Lol yes mate.

Next time anyone asks how my garden is doing I'll be tempted to fib & tell them I had it transfered down to Surrey & my mate is looking after it for me! ;-)
