Beginning of Spring '08

We had a very wet Winter this year and it was a slow start, even the daffodils took their time making an appearance and the irises were a few weeks behind their usual schedule.

Lovely garden and i like the way you have it laid out so you maximise the space.The red couloured plants stand out as does the blue bird bath.We have one in a red colour but up to yet can't get the birds to use it so it is just an ornament now..lol

Is that a seat in front of the building?If so what a nice place to sit and admire the garden...

Same here jenn, the plants dont know where they are this year, it was like spring here a couple weeks ago, it was reported in the newspaper that daffodils were flowering,!!! like your summerhouse, with the seat in front..

Hey guys !
I read that birds are attracted to the colour blue, so that could be the problem you are expierencing with the lack of birds using your red bird-bath Tina2? I watch the birds bathing and splashing around in our birdbath so I have to regularly empty it and add fresh water for them. I've been feeding the birds this year and they are doing a great job eating all the slugs and snails and so far I haven't had any pesky aphids on my roses or ornamentals. *smiling*

Yes, it's a garden swingseat in front of our Spa Room. I removed the awning and the pillows because of the wet weather. I usually store them inside the spa room and take them out when the weather is good enough to sit outside.

Our house is to the left in the photo. That is the back deck overlooking the back garden. I must post some photos of the front garden soon, but I need hubby to make them smaller first.

Very well maintained Jenn. I like your stepping stones in the indentation.
