Around the garden

It has been a while since I have posted pics of what is happening outside in the garden. It's all starting to grow thanks to spring being in the air. I always have a vision of everything I plant coming into bloom at the same time and looking incredible, but of course that will not be the case. I can see that many of my spring bulbs will be long gone and looking straggly as my new roses come out. My hollyhocks may even take another year to be the tall stems of florally gorgeousness I visualise and goodness only knows where my pink calla lily might have been planted. Oh well.... I still enjoy what I see growing.

Above is the front garden prior to daisy pruning...below is after daisy pruning...

They'll grow back in no time.

My garden out the back is growing well. The new roses are all getting their leaves and the perennials are coming through as well...

The ferns are looking pretty well...

Above is my sweet little star magnolia who is flowering for the first time. So pretty.

The iceberg roses along the front fence are all growing well. There are tonnes of self-seeded yellow pansies growing below them.

And the vegie patch is doing ok. The peas are coming along, as are the broad beans. Silverbeet just hasn't stopped growing and the raspberries and strawberries are beginning to come along.

I'm also excited to see growth and even flower buds on my clematis. I need to mulch very soon in readiness for warmer weather.

I hope you have a nice Sunday :)
