The 'Delargo Towers' Garden - May

Well me dears here we are again... Me blog has been dormant for most of the Summer months and I have teetered on the brink of giving up after my last post in April 

Despite the date at the top of this post, it is now September! 

However the photos are all taken in May. Bear with me while I catch up.

In May, our foxgloves (all from seed - Digitalis purpurea 'Excelsior Hybrids') all did very well.

Bluebells, moved from the old garden, were not as strong as last year.

Apple blossom.

Wallflowers again from seed - 'Persian Carpet'

Aquilegia hybrids.

One of the few surviving Anemone St. Brigid.

A rare treat for us, a bought in plant - Geranium 'Johnson's Blue'

Another shop-bought beauty - Salvia farinacea Sallyfun™ Blue

After nurturing a rather sickly Primula auricula all of last year, it was a joy this year.

May was a good start for the roses

Ready for Summer planting

Nice to be back,

and a back-dated June post shouldn't be too far away...

The 'Delargo Towers' Garden - April

A slow start to Spring, cool and grey mostly but we have a stunner to share this month.

Chionodoxa forbesei

A great Joy and it flowered all month long too.

The violas in the front window boxes are still putting on a show

The wall flowers are getting ready to do their stuff
and smell lovely

There is not much wow factor in the beds but thing are moving on and starting to grow

We do have Spring colour - with the bluebells give us some interest

The aquilegias are out of the green house and in the garden.

Tulips and the pots are all looking jolly.

 A gift from Mark, cardiocrinum giganteum. We hope it will flower this year but if not it will be worth the wait

It's a busy time for us with always something to do so not a very detailed post this month but we should see the benefit next month

 Roll on May
