Spring feels like summer, and I like to invite you into my garden.

I had to cut some smaller branches in our apple tree (the long blue pole on the tree is a kind of scissors that can be extended and used to cut high up without a ladder) and my hat kept falling off. So I hung it in the tree.

Have some flowers under the cut


Some columbines (we have different colours)

An English dog rose

and an English bush rose (it's very old and we thought we lost her last year. We had to cut her down, but she grew greener and healthier than ever.)

But we don't just have flowers in our garden, we also have fruit and vegetables


We have kohlrabi and celery

And today we planted courgettes and peppers. And sowed pumpkins.

I hope you enjoyed this little trip to my garden. :-)

How lovely! We much be further north than you because things are barely beginning to bloom here except for my lilacs.

Thank you. It is all a little early this year, because it is quite warm. Unfortunately, our lilacs faded very early this year.

What a beautiful garden!

Your pics made it feel like I was actually there to wander around. ...Just the tonic I need after a heavy week.

Thank you for sharing it.
