The wet weather of the past week has curtailed the outdoor activities somewhat. Mili and Hecate have barely ventured into the garden. However, there is no point in bemoaning the climate, simply get on with it. The splendid BBC Scotland programme "Beechgrove" is an inspiration for UK gardeners who also do not have the home counties climate to cosset their plots.
The leaden skies may not inspire but the trees are coming into leaf, there is life in the herbaceous border and the grass now needs cutting. The seasons are a magnificent framework around which the gardeners calendar must fit.
The view is looking up the garden towards the tress which frame the upper sections. The ornamental grasses are up there (not ideal being a little shaded) and the compost heaps. The shed is also my tool store and is currently awaiting the clematis to come into leaf and screen off the side.
The final phase of the bulb lasagnas now the tulips are out. I am not too sure about the colour of the tulips this year, they rather remind me of the rhubarb and custard boiled sweets!
