"...... now that April's here" (Part 2)

We have been been enjoying several days of really warm summer sunshine this past week (temperatures of 20deg. and above - which is amazing considering it is early April), so today we have been doing a bit of work in the garden.    The lawns are all beautifully mown, and edged, and the flower beds generally titivated, dead winter detritus has been cut back, and the garden looks just lovely (..... and we are both sunburnt!).

I just HAD to go round with my camera to capture some of the blooms which are filling the garden with colour right now, and here are the results........









... and Kim, this shrub is blooming from the cutting I took from your garden....


Of course we all know how capricious our climate is in this country, so we fully expect a snowstorm in May!    Meanwhile however, we are making the most of this barbecue weather in April.

    Beautiful pictures! I keep meaning to post some of our garden too - we have wild lilies at the moment, and avocados are now growing on our Avocado tree. The olive trees are fully laden with juicy olives, and we have enough lemons to keep us going for months and months of G&Ts!! Happy Days!

    Keep enjoying the lovely weather, and your gorgeous garden! x x x
