A bright Spring day.

Anget you have enjoyed the warm sunshine too.
I fill the greenhouse with pelargoniums and fuchsias each autumn. Only a few survive so I wonder if it is worth it? Your pulmonaria is very pretty which has reminded we should have a few dotted about but I haven’t seen any!! We do seem to lose quite a lot in our garden!

Wonderful blog Ange. The weather has been glorious today but didn't get to do much outside. Middle of the day was Zumba and we didn't half work up a sweat.

I did take the camera out and uploaded pics to he picture section.

I stopped heating the greenhouse as it was cheaper to buy new pelargoniums each year.

Lovely blog Ange. We had a good gardening day in the welcome sunshine too … spreading manure on beds, and OH planted out six Hesperis matronalis (3 white, 3 lilac). I also discovered some bright blue Pulmonaria.

My Pelargoniums survived in my unseated greenhouse, perhaps because I kept them very dry? Mind you they haven’t flowered yet!

I loved reading your blog too, Ange. You've been extremely busy in the garden, and your pics show wonderful results too! It's all looking very pristine! Lots of gorgeous spring colour and shoots. I'm sorry about your pelargonium plants, what a pity.
Looks like Maudie and Malkin were making the best of our milder, sunny weather too!!!
Thanks for sharing.

Seems like the photos are even less stable, not staying put for even 24 hours!
Thank you for all your comments.

Just looked for your photos Ang but,as you say,they weren't there for long! I was going to say that your borders look very neat and orderly since your Autumn renovation.I could see spaces! Pulmonaria Dora,that's the more intense colour one? I do wish I had planted that one and not the blue.

'Dora' is a pale pink pulmonaria, Meadow, and she clumps up well. I have her in a number of places. I also have 'Blue Ensign' here which has done well in this garden ( a first with me for that plant) and 'Lewis Palmer', another blue. 'Redstart' is a bit iffy with me although I like it well enough.

Glad you liked the blog, Kate. I don't think you knew that Malkin passed away a couple of weeks ago, another RTA I think. We miss him and so does Maudie. No more cats for me...

Sheila, I kept my pelargoniums dry but the cold obviously finished them off despite my best ministrations! I have some of the bedding ones that have stayed with me!

Sbg, don't overdo it! Just thinking about Zumba makes me tired! I agree with you about pelargoniums. Another lesson learned.

W'rose, we have seedling pulmonarias all over! I have to surreptitiously dig them out because OH wants to keep them all..

Oh, Ange! I’m so very sorry to hear this. I didn’t realise. Poor little guy. It’s so bloody upsetting…apologies for the rude word, but, it’s very distressing for you both. I can only imagine how I would feel, my condolences.

Thank you, Kate. It was a truly horrible thing. He didn't come back at night which was very unlike him. I found him the next day a hundred yards from the road by the footpath. Couldn't believe lightning would strike twice, and it's not that busy a road. It may have been natural causes, of course. I just don't know.

I liked your blog Anget , but unfortunately your pictures have gone!
It looks like spring has arrived in your garden and envy you hearing the skylarks!
I am so sorry about Malkin and must have been so distressing for you finding him how you did!

Flipping Heck !! I've missed the photo's.. Sorry Anget, thats because I spent so much time faffing trying to upload more pics then gave up in frustration...Been catching up today as its chucking it down, rain definitely put paid to gardening..Never mind I can still picture your garden by your descriptions, it seems as though its coming along nicely, I love it when we see new buds showing on our shrubs, I purchased a new plum tree last year, its doing well so its going into the ground this year, I 'm thinking of trying mine against the fencing and then training it as an espalier, sorry to hear about your little cat, its heartbreaking to lose a beloved pet, I like that you have Malkin in the garden , we do that here and then dedicate that spot to them, we only have one now Toffee, unfortunately Pepper the little dog we took in when my sister passed away is a beggar, she chases cats, it wouldn't be fair to try with a new kitten, luckily Toffee doesn't mind being upstairs, sadly he still won't come into the back garden, I miss his company.. Shame about your little pond although they do get sludged up a bit so do see why you got rid, I bet you would have had taddies this year....

Yes girls, the pics were put up in the evening and disappeared overnight!
And yes, we miss both our young cats as I'm sure you have done too with pets you have loved.
Chucking it down here, too, today, Lincs. Perfectly foul!

I have put back the photos in no particular order! Wonder if they will last more than a couple of hours??

Thanks Anget, I saw them his time....

Weii done Ange … this site likes you!

Ooo - 24hrs. and still here!

I have just looked back in Anget and now your photos are there! How weird is that!

At last, a blog with photos and not just text! I have scrolled back to read blogs and the first three have all lost their photos - so annoying for everyone. We also got rid of our small pond, some years ago, too much effort for too little reward really.

These photos haven't disappeared since I put them up for a second time, Shirley! I have no idea what's going on - there is no rhyme or reason.

:o(

Oh well, the pics have gone for a second time...

Anget, I'm losing the will to take photos for this site now . . . :o((

A gardening site with no pictures... hmm.. that's different!!
