Diary of a weekend gardener

Between shopping and the rain

I had a good couple of hours in the front garden, which hasn't been touched for about six months. Tidied up the acanthus and potentilla and thinned the phormiums a bit. Also planted the Spring Green tulips on the appointed day, along with half a dozen Allium Christophii. I think they'll look good together, especially since they are around the Corsican hellebore which should still have it's lime green flowers then.

Still mild, but much too damp to mow the lawn or sort the leaf mould out. Below are a couple of pics I took in the 10 minutes of sunshine this morning.
