The Garden in bloom

The sun is shining in the bright blue sky and I’m feeling bright and cheery today! The garden is too, showing off some of it’s vibrant colours and the plants growing from bulbs & seeds are getting taller and taller. You might remember the dahlia seeds that we planted in a small pot on the kitchen window sill in March. We moved them outside into a bigger pot a few weeks ago, look at them now!! (You can see what they looked like in March here)


These carnations smell gorgeous!


This photo below was taken only a few weeks ago of some gladioli bulbs that were planted at the beginning of April. They seemed to take their time peering up through the soil one by one…


and now with all the sunshine they have sprouted up so fast! I can’t wait to see them in flower.


We’ve also got various lilies growing in pots, which started like this…


and have grown into this…



My hanging basket of pansies is doing well, but the lining of the basket is looking a bit worse for wear! I think the birds like to unravel parts of it to use in making their nests.

I love the different shades of colour on the leaves of this Acer tree…


Hope you’ve enjoyed this little tour around the garden! Have a great weekend!
