I know how we all like some nice picky's. So I thought I would share my garden with you... Before the rain washes it all away! :cry:  anyway. Here goes........



The Alliums are at last opening up





Slugs haven't had my hostas yet :D



All's well

lovely sr :-)
you know I love your gorgeous acers so good to see it all in more detail

It makes me want more colour on my garden, Ive been concentrating so much on the evergreens in the last couple of years that theres been no change to herald spring this time apart from my acers leafing up
:-(

anyway,as my garden is all patioed (sp?) mr peapod has promised me he'll build me another raised bed for some purty flowers :-)

Iv'e had a better idea.. If I leave all of the half empty cans of Lager/Cider scattered all over the garden, that should see off all the slugs/snails!... Sorted! 8)

I think that bush may be a ceanothus (californian lilac)?
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

No, no dog :cry:  - to explain my OH is allergic to animals... I would dearly love a pooch, but alas it's not meant to be.
