Garden update

We are really pleased with how our front and back gardens are maturing and coming along this year. Here are some updated photos -

The new front garden -

I spent a lot of time in the back garden last year and planted a lot of new shrubs and perennials. This year they're taking off and look really healthy thanks to all the rain we're getting at the moment! Shame we haven't been able to sit out in it more than a couple of times this year so far!

The back garden - 

Clematis - the blooms are the size of my palm

Alliums, lavender and impatiens

The side border - nepeta, red robin, day lilies and blue lupins

My shady corner is really filling out

Back border and Joe's neat lawn

I just planted some containers and hanging pots at the front of the house so am looking forward to them filling out. I've been asked by friends to do some hanging baskets for them which is exciting! I just went to a tutorial about how to do them well so I can use my new skills :)
