Where has the last month gone? Having taken a rare day away from the computer I suddenly realised tonight when I logged on that my gardening post was due and then once again it has taken me a few hours to get blogger to work!
Other colour in the garden this month has been provided by the hellebores (see above) and pulmonarias. (see below) we have a growing number of these too. They are low growing and provide masses of spring flowers in various colours. They are also known as lungwort as their leaves are shaped like lungs and they were once used to treat lung conditions.
I love the colour of these deep crimson Blood Red Wallflowers and a extra bonus is their spicy scent. The first tulip has also appeared hopefully next month's post will feature more of them!
We have been very busy sowing flower and vegetable seeds, which are coming up well, we just need to find space over the garden to fit them in!
The Goldfinches have reappeared, the rooks are sitting on their nests in the neighbouring trees and the morning chorus is such a welcome sound, it really feels as if Spring has sprung! What have been the highlights in your garden this month?
It is always wonderful to see other gardens from around the world and share our love of gardening.

Wishing you all a very Happy Easter, our lockdown was eased on Monday allowing us to see family and friends in outside areas, we were hoping to catch up with the children in the garden but it is very dependent on the weather, which isn't looking so promising for the weekend.
Take care, until next time.
