Walk With Me

Fundy Mayıs 28, 2022

It's quite cool and windy today but I took a walk around our little garden to see if anything is growing yet. There's not much colour, everything just looks green now that the pots of daffodils and tulips have finished flowering....

The Photinia Red Robin is the only bit of colour...

But my lilies are coming on a treat. I need to keep checking for lily beetles though, I already found and squished one at the weekend....

OOh...tatties!! (jumps up and down with joy) My illicit potatoes (Rocket) have shown their faces so need earthing up.....

I LOVE peonies and these are growing fast....

Already buds are forming...

And there are two big flower spikes on the Lupins...

These leeks were popped in last year and are at last starting to thicken, but whoops I must have missed some potatoes last year because I certainly didn't put any in this pot! I'll leave them anyway and see what happens....

Last year's strawberries seem to have regenerated so I'm hopeful of a few luscious berries when the warm weather settles. Isn't it ludicrous that we have to hide a few edibles amongst plants. Illicit veg is a no no :(

I picked up this lovely pot of tulips a week ago. They had already gone over but I loved the colour and the stripy leaves so they were a snip at £1. The pot alone could cost that. If I snip off the heads they will come back next year....
