Macklingirl's journal

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
( Flowers )

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

( Vegetables and Fruits )


And blooming woodruff





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

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

I would love to invite you into my garden again. Since we have wonderful weather, where else should I be?

After sealing the roof of our toilet extension with liqiud bitumen yesterday



we planted some cabbage turnip and peas and pak choi.



And today I can relax and enjoy the day. A day with flowers and sun under the cut.

That's it for today. I'm going to close my eyes now and enjoy the sun. I hope you felt comfortable and welcome in my garden and enjoyed it again.

Today we had visitors in the garden who really are good looking ones.

No, not Bodie or Doyle, but good looking too.

Once again I would love to invite you to visit my garden and I hope you come and relaxe with me.

Today we were greeted by a frog who didn't have any fear and stayed where he was.

Three colours in our Hibscus

White



Blue



And sort of pink



And sometimes I think that I really should go to the market and sell some of the food that grows in our garden. But never the pumpkin. *gg*



( More food here )

And fresh peppermint, which smells really nice



I hope you enjoyed the trip around my garden. I'm going to relax now and enjoy the sun and a light breeze.

And once more a happy day in our garden.You're invited to enjoy some of our flowers.

Since the weather is wonderful I spend the day in the garden. It is in full bloom.

Here's the cherry tree with a glimpse of the lilac



and the cherry blossoms in close-up.



The lilac which is behind the cherry tree. And it smells soooooo good.Too bad that you can't post the smell as well.




( A variation of tulips )

This is a bush calles snowball because his inflorescences look like snowballs. And they have a very intense smell too.




This is from our small lilac tree, the blossoms are darker.



Have a primrose as well. It's a very old one, we planted it in 2001 and now we have at least ten children with the same colour.




And I don't know this bush. It is a small one and the blossoms smell very intense of honey and are well loved by bees and bumble bees. So if anybody knows the botanic name (or the english name) please tell me.



Our guest the frog didn't allow us to take a picture, I think he's wanted for making to much noise on a quiet day. *g*
