Oh well, the spring sun was covered with clouds today and the rain came tumbling down – again. But Spring is all about the warmth and the rain – the flowers and the showers, right? So here is my garden today – wet and warm. The Spring feeling is in the air and the blues have melted and the spirits are high. I’ve been in the garden all day yesterday – pulling, clearing, weeding, cutting……..
I wonder what colour this Iris will be??
I have groups of Irises all over the garden
Going to be a glorious Spring!!
Sparaxis in bloom
Festuca Glauca a strong favourite
The Blue Bed – all the flowers blue or purple!
Azaleas loving the rain!
More Sparaxis, heavy with rain
My Raspberry Lavender, lovely colour
A single Freeshia – what a delight!
Veggie patch all wet – again!
View from the front porch
Newly cut grasses – waiting for the spring growth
View from the back porch
Front lawn needs mowing
Rose bed clipped
Erigeron creeping furiously
Getting my seeds planted, while weather poor
Took Thyme clippings – growing very well
I am quite surprised how much I managed to get done this weekend, despite the rainy weather! My garden is budding and growing in leaps and bounds. The rain is always welcome in my neck of the woods – only not days of it!
I hope my next post is on my Irises blooming!! 🙂
Happy gardening xxxxxx
It all looks so beautiful! Are the Irises open yet?
No!! I am so anxious to see them. They just keep growing more buds!! They will be spectacular – I’m sure!! 🙂
I’ve never thought to propagate my herbs from cuttings — I always want more ‘Arp’ Rosemary and thyme. Thanks for pointing out the obvious to me! 🙂
Nice to know that I can teach you a few tricks! 🙂
Oh I so want a warm wet spring again. I will take a warm wet fall even…so strange to be so dry here. I will say any extremes for a long time is hard to bear. Your garden is so lovely in the rain.
Spring and autumn are certainlybusy times for gardeners. Christina
Your garden looks so beautiful. Everything looks so neat and tidy. Love the raspberry lavender! And I adore the checked design in the blue bed. Your thyme clippings are impressive!
Oh thank you – and to think a year ago in winter that area was a big mud pit! Nothing was growing there – the grass was gone and the chickens made mince meat out of the rest of it. So it all looks so nice now and the effort was worth it.
