The daffs are nearly over but the tulips are out. The daffodils didn't seem to last very long this year. the weather has warmed up a lot but its been quite windy. The garden looks OK from a view but a bit scruffy close up.

I became interested in gardening in 2007 after some bulbs I planted in 2006 grew. In 2007 I planted more and more including over 200 bulbs at the end of the year. In March 2008 I landscaped the garden and had bigger flower beds made and planted these up. For the first time I grew tomoatos from seed. At the end of 2008 I planted a further 200 bulbs. In 2009 I did very little. This is a photo journal of how the garden has changed and things have grown.

Your garden does indeed look lovely! Makes me want to wander along those stepping stones and enjoy the view. Your tulips are beautiful ... and I love that lovely rosy coloured Heuchera as well. I hope that windy weather dies down soon.
Hello! This is very interesting, thanks. I really love tulips. I found some great seeds here https://dutch-bulbs.com/liliums/.
