This week has been quite a contrast in weather first thing in the morning.
We have had hard frosts, fog and rain. However this has been followed by lovely sunshine which has certainly made a lot of the flowers come out.
This is how our garden has grown this week...
Hubby built a cold frame last year and when I looked in this week I noticed that the strawberry plants are already starting to flower.
At the end of last week we noticed these pretty little purple flowers starting to grow. After the rain and afternoon sunshine they have now opened up. We just do not know what they are!
The cold mornings have meant that we have had sad daffodils, however they have soon picked up once the sun has started to shine.
We now have a lovely little picket fence behind the dividing beds that separate the "family/twins" area from the "play" area. We decided to separate the areas so that Joseph is able to play with his football without worrying about plants or the twins.
We have noticed this week that some of the seeds in the greenhouse are now starting to grow. The first ones that are coming are cabbage.
The cold mornings have left a lot of dew on the garden first thing in the morning. When you look closer at plants in the morning you see the beauty of nature that is often missed.
I am sharing this post with Mammasaurus How Does Your Garden Grow head over and look at her beautiful photographs of Exbury Gardens and how other bloggers gardens grow!
isn't it exciting seeing all those little buds coming up x

Love that last photo and the daffodil close up and aren't you lucky to have strawberry flowers already - just hope it's not too cold for the bees to pollinate them! I have no idea what that blue flower is either now! #blogclub
ReplyDeleteAhhh I flipping love that little picket fence.
ReplyDeleteLoving that little picket fence - great idea for separating the garden up without being overbearing in the process. Strawberry flowers already ?! Wow - I predict a bumper crop this year ;)
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean about the contrasting weather - I am sat in a window by bright sunlight roasting away now but at 8.30 am on the school run (it's always the ruddy school run when it happens!) it was thick sleet and I was soaked to the skin! Madness!
Best not com pain too much though, it's doing wonders to the plants!
Thanks for joining in again x
Lovely to see your cabbages coming
ReplyDeleteWow - that's early for strawberries to be in flower - bet you can't wait for the first fruit to ripen! #HDYGG
ReplyDeleteI love this time of year - all the blossom is appearing on our trees here :)
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely watching all of the flowers start to bloom isn't it. Lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteSome lovely colours, I love a daff and a picket fence :) ! x
ReplyDeleteOh I adore flowers, but live in a new build and we are seriously lacking (just grass). This makes me realise I need more flowers in my life
ReplyDeleteLots of pretty flowers coming out now.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for our flowers to start opening, may make the garden look better.
what beautiful pics! x
ReplyDeleteYou have lots of gorgeous flowers x
ReplyDeleteI love your little fence :) Lovely photos x
ReplyDeleteIt is such a lovely time of year with all the new blooms sprouting. (I have serious greenhouse envy!)
ReplyDeleteLovely colours, such a great idea to separate the garden into two areas so you can keep a play area for the bubbas x
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures!
ReplyDeleteI hope to plan something new this weekend, lets hope the weather will be kind to me
My apple tree is starting to shoot now - cannot wait to see how its grows this year
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers
ReplyDeleteThey look lovely. We haven't got any flowers in our garden yet. It was overgrown and a disaster area when we moved here late last summer so this year we will tidy up and hopefully next year we will
ReplyDeleteHave some colour!
Oh your garden is spectacular as are these photos. Wow. It's been a strange Spring. Very welcomed, with our blast of days at 18 degrees and even one 21 degrees a couple of Sundays back, and then boom, back to cold nights, and cold early morning. Yet now, we are predicted 18/19 for today and tomorrow. I am glad of any heat we get though, as inconsistent as it is, as last year we did not get a Spring at all, and we even had snow in April last year. As I write this it is 09:45 am Saturday morning and there is a beautiful clear blue sky outside. xx
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful plants! I have whatever the complete opposite of a green fingers are, but I am going to try this year with some herbs and tomatos - and I have some lovely bulbs out :-)

ReplyDeleteI LOVE this time of year - such beautiful extremes. I like the idea of a picket fence - perhaps we should try that here.
