This time of year is one of my favourites, as the garden wakes up and all the fresh new growth hints at what comes ahead. Spring has been cool, so the garden seems a little behind this year. But regardless of that, I thought it was a good time to share a few photos of whats looking good at the moment.
The top patio is a little chaotic at the moment as a result of the new pond project. But I dont think ill grow tired of this view.

View from the middle patio, the Ficus carica 'Adam' towards the right hand side seems very late to get going this year.
View along the main pathway from the house to the jungle.
The trachycarpus are all full of flower buds - with some still full of last years seed.

Enjoying just watching the garden "do its thing" this year as the pond project is occupying much of our free time. Fortunately the garden does seem to know just what to do!

This gardening blog follows our journey as we create our Tropical and Exotic themed garden. We hope you'll enjoy the journey as much as we do. We started our Exotic Garden in 2005 and this site will show its development, as well as our travels, both abroad and within the UK to gardens, nurseries and friends.
I'm always impressed by how much you manage to pack into your garden. It's great that so many of your plants can get along without constant attention. I'm not sure how long mine could!
ReplyDeleteIt’s just about striking a balance. Although we wish we had more time to spend gardening.
