I have decided to take regular photos, every Friday, showing the progress in the garden. Of course I'll take photos during the week too - if anything interesting is happening. So this is a long post, filled with photos. Sorry if your connection is slow.
It's been rather cool today, much cooler than the last couple of weeks. But the sun is shining, and the garden doesn't seem to be suffering from the drop in temps, thank goodness. One thing I have noticed, particularly with the impatiens - they are growing very s..l..o..w..l..y ! They do need warmer weather to thrive.
The beautiful azaleas I bought have burst into flower. So very pretty. These have to be one of my favourites. Years ago, I had a huge shady bed of them, growing under pine trees. They were a wonderful sight.
The tomatoes are growing well. I only have 4 (Gardeners Delight) in the ground, but have a few in pots as well. I also have a few Tumbling Toms which I grew from seed. These will go in pots and hanging baskets eventually.
Sweet little violas are flowering.
The parsley is really doing well. I'm using it regularly and it is flourishing.
Sage is coming along nicely.
These are grandson Tim's beans. He is a very keen gardener, and looks after his plant very well, as you can see.
The lemon thyme is looking and smelling gorgeous !
Little spinach seedling are coming up between the lettuce.
This aubergine is taking it's time. Like most of us here in the UK, it's waiting for warmer weather. I have 4 of these growing.
And...did I mention I need another one of these ??? No ? Well...I do.
Your azalea is lovely. Mine are already bloomed out and are ready for a trim.
Your herbs look good too. I use herbs a lot even just as landscape plants.
I just put my tomatoes in the ground.
Today we had a nice spring rain but it's suppose to warm up tomorrow.
