A Little Bit Of Sunshine ...

Good Morning!
A little bit of sunshine goes a long way and judging from the past few days the plants have lapped it up! Although as you are reading this the weather has turned back to rain but atleast it gives everything a good water! 

Let's start off with the Patio table next to the Veg bed where I have arranged a selection of Nemesia & Diascia in the centre as a focal point.


We have also had our first harvest from the Veg Bed which is one of the Radishes! The Spring Onions don't look too far off either so hopefully we will have a few things to harvest this weekend.


The veg bed now has some netting over it (added since taking this photo) to help stop the birds pecking at the lettuce and the Alliums are still providing a great border.


Against the veg bed you can see the 'Abutilon' and the Iris's have finally flowered!




Last weekend I tidied up one side of the lawn by extending the beds a bit more which will be planted up with Annuals to fill the gaps. You can see the Geum's and Aquilega's are bursting with colour!


In the Greenhouse my Pelargoniums are starting to show their blooms ...



The 'Black Cherry' Petunia has also started coming into flower and I love the deep richness of the red.


Finally the Clematis at the front of the house we planted last year is still only very small but one of it's buds flowered this week and the 'Bee's Jubilee' is definitely the bee's knees!


Thanks for stopping by, I hope you have a great weekend!
HAPPY GROWING!
