Gosh it’s four weeks gone by of another month. There’s been an amazing amount of new growth. With the weather being so wonderful to us, especially timely in this difficult period of the World being constrained, it’s been great to get into the garden. I’ve finally been able to cut the lawn. It looks a bit dry now but with a little rain it will be okay. During mowing it was apparent there are a few mounds to deal with, ants are to blame. The ants, black and red, have moved in in various spots throughout the lawn and it’s difficult to keep them at bay.

1) I’ve a few Spanish Flag (Ipomoea lobata) seedlings, well their quite big now needing support canes. So they are to get their own pots soon. Really looking forward to seeing these grow through the summer as the Propagator has grown these last year with great success.

2) The Cosmos Allsorts Mixed that have been growing are somewhat spindly. Hope I can rescue them. If not I’ll sow the rest of the seeds as there’s plenty of time for a good show from these.

3) The Parsley and Basil are slowly developing.

4) Clematis Piilu has thrown up some amazing amount of growth, I look forward to another great summer show of flowers.

5) Tulip Angelique have come along amazingly well. Looking forward to the showy blooms soon. There’s already a showing of colour on one of the buds.

6) Spirea Bridal Wreath Goes from strength to strength in its display of white almost waterfall effect.
