My Spring/Summer Garden 2013

All this rain of late may not have done much for my mood and motivation but the garden has flourished in it!! Its looking so pretty (even if I do say so myself), so I thought I would share with you some of the blooming lovely flowers :)

Beautiful Peonies

My very first Hydrangea

Beautiful pink rhododendron! This hasn't done very well the last couple of years and I almost took it out at the end of last summer, but decided instead to take out the conifer next to it (don't mind conifers as a border but not in a border!!), and this year it has come back with avengence - I love it!!

 Daffodils in the belfast sink, just deciding what to grow in here next.

Once the daffodil flowers have gone, I always tie them back like this, water them with tomato feed and then let them die down, apparently it lets all the nutrients go back into the bulb - thats what I have was told so go with it every year :)

And last but definitely not least these gorgeous Alpines! These are my favourite as they are so easy to grow! Once they have finished flowering, simply cut half away and plant it somewhere else and they just keep spreading...easy peasy!!

I hope you get some sunshine where you are this weekend!!
