Update on Garden - photo heavy

The sun was shining so I thought I'd show some of the garden - soon to change as the 'Summer' creeps in - I also believe in fairies!!!

This is the bed nearest the house, full of bluebells and hucheras and aquilegias.  On the left - from the pond view - and on the right - from the house view.  Verdant.  Great for the Bluetits and Greattits to go insect hunting - very successfully I might add.  





I love these McKenna ones but there are also lots of blue ones.  I don't like the plain blue so will remove them before they seed (weather permitting) and just leave these blue/white ones to set seed.


There is also this gorgeous Clematis showing along the fence, don't ask me its name ......... I'm not in my jungle trekking gear!!!



The 'chopper' pond looks settled now, a few more grasses round the edge (chopper? look in the pond, crashed and wrecked!)




The greenhouse is full of my plants for Training, late planting due to the weather and my bad health.  They must be planted this week as DH would like his greenhouse back!!




I love this Laburnum - I know those blossoms only last a week but so great.  This was a seedling growing in between the paving in the front and I transplanted it.  Been in the concrete pot for a fair few years - so rootbound I wouldn't dream of moving it!!  One day the pot will crack...........





In the walled garden the Hosta are starting to peep through, I had forgotten about this little beauty!  I shall move the Hebe on the right but not just yet.



A close up of the Auricula - lots of purple ones in the border and round the base of the Tamarisk pot - just seen behind the Acer - what's with purple?  
Must be the soil ............



The Acer has survived the winter weather, this is so beautiful that I have suggested a plinth so that we can really show it off.  It sits at the edge of the patio but this doesn't really do it justice.
