I am writing my first blog entry from the warmth and shelter of my office after an evening's gardening in the rain. The weather has been overcast and rainy all day, but the plants have had a good drink. Everything seems to growing at a rate of knots at this time of year, and a good watering helps the process along nicely.
April is a lovely time of year in the garden - a time of new beginnings. After pottering about in the garden this evening, I came into the office and looked through some photos I took just 6 weeks ago and the difference in the garden is astonishing. There's new growth appearing all over the place.
When the rain stopped for a few brief seconds today, I managed to get a snap of one new shoot that I'm particularly excited about:
It's a Lily of the Valley that I planted next to the brick footpath. There are a few shoots of it coming up throughout the garden, but this one is the biggest so far. I can't wait to see the flowers emerge later in the year. These fresh new shoots are so green and full of promise. Exciting times!
