How's Your Garden Growing?

Here are couple of pics for you robinia ..if you could tell what that yellow stuff is I would be very pleased.

[Robinia]

hi shaney, lovely pics thanks.
I can't tell how tall it is but it looks like a kerria. :o)

[shaneystar2]

Oh thank you Robinia ..have looked it up and found it is a
Kerria japonica 'Pleniflora'.Certainly is pretty and I have been trying to train it since we moved here to go over the arch of the seat ...but it seems to want to go in the other direction!
Not much to do today in the garden as it is pouring down after a lovely day yesterday.
If I don't cut the grass soon I won't be able to find Shane !
Plus no lunch as had the wrong date on my calendar....I shall be glad when my new specs are ready !
Here is another piccy for you of the front which I titivated round yesterday. The ceanothus should be in bloom soon ..if we get some sun.It's always a lovely blue ..when it does bloom I will leave a picture for you.

glad it's mystery solved shaney.

That looks lovely & tidy, I had a tall ceanothus but it expired a couple of yrs ago - I think it was too exposed to cold winds although it was against a wall.

I've been digging dandies out of the lawn with a knife. If it's a day that I can bend down far enough I can't grip well enough to pull the weeds out.....oh the joys of being decrepit.

[shaneystar2]

I read somewhere that if you pour salt on them they will shrivel up and die ! I have got that wretched celandine ..I think it's called ..everywhere ..and those spanish bluebells.

By the way I have two pairs of blackbirds nesting and since putting up a seed feeder have started to get a few bluetits ..yippee...Mr Sparrows nose has been put out of joint ! He guards the peanuts with his life.

I replanted all the front last year and am glad it's all taken on so well.
