2009 Garden Photo Diary


I've decided to resurrect my monthly garden photo diaries over on Flickr. I did them in the summers of 2005 and 2006, but haven't bothered during the past two summers. There didn't seem much point, what with the Great Shed Project of 2007 and last summer's extensive landscaping. But this summer will, I hope, see the culmination of several years of planning work. With the foundations of the new garden now laid, and lots of reorganization of various flower beds and plenty of new plantings last fall, I am very excited to see how the garden will look this year.

So, I've posted a few pics for the month of April, to start. May should be glorious. The trees currently have that wonderfully fuzzy pale-green frill about them - within a week, tender new leaves will be emerging. In the flower beds, we've had daffodils, striped squill, snowdrops and crocuses a-blooming, and the tulips are ready to pop anytime now. The forsythia bush is a little bit early this year also, and is nearly in full sunshiny bloom already.
