General discussion / A walk in the garden on a beautiful Spring evening.
« Last post by ideasguy on April 21, 2024, 08:29:56 PM »After a wet cold winter and early spring, how beautiful it was to have a lovely spring day today.
My walk around was to water my Japanese Maples. Sun shining, birds chirping everywhere and then I got hit with a beautiful waft of fragrance - from my Choisya ternata.
Flowers are quite small but this specimen has not been pruned and its about 8 ft tall and about 10 ft wide! Overgrown, yes, but it is such a pleasant surprise in the evening.
The first day this year we didn't have at least a shower of rain. MUCH to do in the garden and with the forecast saying its going to be DRY (Wow!!) for a few days more, I may be able to get the first cut of the the grass at the top of the garden!
Got a second (heavy) cut off the front then spent a couple of hours gathering dandelions. Insects like them but boy, do I hate them!
How is your gardening?
