There's a purple leafed plum tree on each side of the opening in the fence. These are always the first trees to bloom here every year. I brought about a dozen of them home from work when I was there at the nursery. That was a few years ago now. They were absolutely buzzing with honey bees in the sunshine today. Early in the morning it was cloudy and I thought I might be out there in the rain, but then the sun came out and cheered me up a bit.What's that pretty pink flower, if you don't mind saying. ?

I gave all the roses another spray of Sulphur Rose. I'll do this every two to three weeks from now, to hopefully reduce any chance of black spot infestation.
I'm ever the optimist!
I checked the clematis.
The bad news, is that it looks like five haven't survived the winter.
The good news, is that thirteen have!
Checked on the progress of the creeping phlox plug plants on the shed window sill.
They are doing very well. I have to remember to water them every other day as it gets quite hot in there.
No hedgehog activity, as of yet.
I'll have to spend some time in next door's garden tomorrow getting more of the branches of trees we've cut down into green bins.

Are you sure you've lost those Clematis? What time of the year do they bloom? In any event, a ''lost'' Clematis can miraculously reappear anything up to 20 years later so I've been informed (by a Clematis expert grower)

I read somewhere that they rarely die.
Some of ours are doing really well, others are just about showing, a few hidden by last year's dead growth which I pruned off. The suspect ones have "disappeared." I'll leave it a few weeks before deciding whether to replace them if they don't appear..

I have enough broccoli so I let my plants go to flower for the bees and I'll collect seed later.

While Tetters has been laying waste to the Lavender hedge I've been cutting the Hazel hedge on the cornfield boundary
I made Tetters a tree house while I was doing it but she won't climb up into it
Cut these poles up for later use in the veg garden.
And the smaller twigs will go through the gruncher and end up as wood chip

It looks more like a trap to me. Reminds me of the film - back in the 70's about the wicker man.

I just looked that up !! It's totally horrifying !! Yeah, but Zigs reckons it's like the wattle in a wattle and daub wall. Something he has done often in his restoration work.

Watered everything in the Greenhouse.
Planted some Cabbage and Cauliflower.
Moved some Geraniums to get more sunlight.
