Pah!

Hmmm...said I was a bit concerned about those seedlings (see how this looked in April). This will shift the post holiday feta-belly.

Spring growth

Three weeks away in May seemed like a good idea. Think the garden got a bit carried away.

Lovely spuds

I've opted for the quick and easy route with spuds this year. I've done five big tubs, different varieties (they were labelled but unsure now what's what). Hadn't planned on how they would look here but am really pleased with the result - they add a nice touch of green next to the deck.

Splendid woodruff

I seem to have woodruff all over now, under my shrubs. So easy to dig a patch up and move it along. It looks its best now. Good stuff indeed.

New box

My mum gave me six wee box. I hadn't planted them so when she came to visit she dug this mini border and interplanted them with some Veronicas that I'd grown from seed. Should be good in a couple of years.

Stars for May

Birthdays in May are the best. New friends come in fancy dress.

Herb pot

I never really have much success with herbs in pots. The Bay here is very yellow, the Greek Oregano has disappeared and I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do with the Welsh onions. Still, Mrs Jessops' Upright Rosemary and the common thyme are doing well.
