Around the Garden in Spring





The Irises and Roses are coming out!

There is something quite satisfying about cutting fresh flowers from your own garden. 

 I love this time of year, the irises are out and the roses are well on their way.




There is fresh growth on the hedges and the lawn is greening up.


The hedges have beautiful new green growth!

My healthiest of the Manchurian Pears

Harvey- camera shy!
Our newest area the Rose Garden - still needing to be hedged






The barley crop is ripening ready for harvest


 Harvest is getting pretty close and we are hoping to start in about 2 weeks!






I am rather impatient but this still relatively new garden is finally coming together. To anyone starting a new garden- hang in there it is worth the wait!


Hope you are all having a fabulous week.

PS If anyone has any tips on what to do with irises after they flower please share. I hate how they look after when the leaves die off.

Letitia, it's been such a long time since I popped over for a visit but as usual, your beautiful home and garden make me totally green with envy! You are one blessed chickadee!
