8th April in Hertfordshire

Sheila, it really is so good to see new growth in the Spring ... all looks lovely in your garden and greenhouse. I have only sown some Sunflower seeds so far ... we shall be away for a week soon, so upon return, I will really crack on!

Looks like you’ve been busy in the green house already.
Garden looking good too. Isn’t nice to have some sunny days.

Thank you so much Shirley, Josee and Klahanie.
Nothing like a flowering cherry - which one did you choose Klahanie?

Could you find it if you Google Prunus Shirotae? (Mount Fuji’s other name, but I expect you knew that!)

Loving your garden, Sheila. The layout is a knockout! The cherry is a pretty one. We are about to plant a cherry this morning, but this one is a sweet cherry that I bought as a whip and have grown on in a pot for a couple of years! Not quite as decorative as yours! Hope you're enjoying the fabulous sunshine this w/end.

Thanks very much Ange! I look forward to seeing your sweet cherry in blossom 🙂. Don’t work too hard in the sunshine …

Lovely to see your garden, Sheila! The cherry tree looks wonderful & will also be a good focal point when it's bigger. 😃

Looking as good as ever.

Thank you very much David and Phyl … good to see you both 🙂.

Looks lovely, Sheila, you're all set! Your greenhouse looks inspiring too.

It's nice to see spring has arrived in your garden Sheila :)

Thank you Kate and Hywel for your comments ... I do love filling up my greenhouse at this time of year!

It seems like yesterday that it was a newly designed garden - how lovely and mature it looks now - you must be really pleased with it. You have Ipheion too - after I just said you don't see them very often. Better change that now !

Thank you Sue. Yes, I’m enjoying the garden, and looking forward to a bit more colour in the next few weeks when we’ll hopefully get some warmth 🙂.

Lovely trees! And so much growth in your greenhouse! Much more than mine..

Thanks Janey, I “work” in my greenhouse more often than in the house!

You really do have some lovely trees and shrubs Sheila, its a lovely time of the year for us gardeners, your g'house looks like mine, full of promise, actually its needed as the weather has turned nasty again but we can while away some time in there and stay relatively warm and dry.....Your photos' are lovely....

Thanks Lincs, you’re very kind. Yes our greenhouses are our sanctuaries aren’t they 🙂.
