The garden in Spring bloom!

14 Apr '07 9:15 pm

Yesterday I was watering the garden from 10am, until 6pm!! I only stopped for about 30' to have a light lunch... The garden was transformed during the last week , when I was away! The Clematis became double in size, one of the two Cherry Trees started blooming, almost all Tulips are in bloom, The Lilacs are about to start blooming..

It was very hot during my absence here, all days were sunny bright! Lovely! But my poor babies became awfully thirsty! Especially the tiny new ones...That is why I had to water all the borders.. My poor back was very brave...Here are some aspects of the blooming Spring situation..

Dear Liza - what joy your spring garden brings! And how confusing I find your weather stories - half an hour of sudden snow Confused

But then I feel about snow like Europeans do about hippopotami... the last time I saw snow in the garden where I lived was in 1964! (And 50 km from here there is a 'beware of crossing hippopotami' road sign, and not too far from there a friend once apologised to me for the state of her garden 'which had been rather trampled by the hippo the previous night')

Those big blue flowers are sensational! It i so much warmer in your corner of the world. Just moved out of the freezing zone yesterday, around here.

Your garden already looks lovely.

Oh Liza! Your garden looks sooo pretty! Very Happy

Here, ours are just getting ready to be put to bed for a few months, the leaves are taking on their special glow before they drop and become next years mulch! Don't you just love nature! She is so clever Very Happy

Always something ends and the next begins.

I am going to scoot off and buy another 100 or so mixed daff bulbs! You have inspired me to think ahead to next Spring when we have our own pretty first flowers to look for!

Arrrrgh! Your cherry tree is divine!

Enjoy! Mr. Green

Every time you share my joy for the garden, I fly to the seventh skies! So, thank you So much for your uplifting comments!

Jack, You are so right about snow and Hyppopotamos !! I do love your humor!

Dear Chris, don't worry, Spring and Summer are knocking at the door! Greece is two months ahead in the Seasons...Every body in his /her turn....I am waiting for your first garden blooms!!

Pumkin, I missed you, too, I think I said it again somewhere else! I think all Spring gardens are so special! Either meadows, National, or private! I am so happy you like the garden! And Autumn is a lovely, very artistic, Season, I think...

Faith, I do hope you liked the garden, too (???). I am sure , yours is even more graceful and colourful!

Magnificent! Your photography is as stunning as your flowers.

I see that the height of spring is arriving in your garden
about a month or so after it has left my corner of the world.
And I can't help but notice that it is putting on a much more
polished performance for you than it did for me. Laughing

I'm thrilled at the prospect of being able to enjoy all the seasons
at once, visiting all of the moosey gardeners this way.

More, more, more . . . Embarassed

. . . Oh what a glutton I am.

Liza, you posted more pictures while I wasn't looking. I have missed my read of the Forum a couple of days lately and when I try to catch up quickly, I sometimes miss things. I was glad to see your beautiful gardens survived without you during your absence. The heart border is growing more lush and beautiful by the moment it seems. I loved all your brillient new photos. Isn't spring wonderful!

I have missed a lot here too... for some reason 'old man time' has been drinking too much coffee or something cos he sure is racing! Very Happy

Between working and still getting things done around the house I never have enough time in the garden or online Anxious

hence, everywhere is only half done Mr. Green

I have just built another garden Faith so I have been busy in it planting stuff Wink

but then I come here and look at Liza pics and realise how boring my planting is in Autumn hehe, no flowers till next season! *waiting, waiting, always waiting* Mr. Green
