The May Garden

Spring was a long time in coming this year and some plants still seem a long way behind. But despite all that the garden is really coming into its own now. With the various perennials back up and all knitting together to create a thick lush carpet under the taller plants.

But before I get all poetic (!) here are a few photos of what's currently looking good in the garden.

The bottom end of the garden has really filled out this year and if looking junglier than ever!

Twinkles exploring the jungle

Overall the garden does seem to be behind where plants would normally be, due to the slow spring, lets hope we get a warm end to spring and summer ahead!
