How does your garden grow? Update

Everything has been growing in the warm sun and Dawn's daily watering. Prompted by Joyce saying she liked pink hawthorn, I thought I'd take a few photos...

Our hedge at the front has pink hawthorn bushes that are getting quite big now.


The flowers are at their best now.


Also in the front we have some white rock and patio rose "Dawn".



Talking of Dawn, she has been creating a new vegetable bed for all the plants she has been growing from seed.


Look how much flint she found. We are going to have to build something with it.





Our first summer harvest... and it's not even summer yet! I used two of the radishes with our smoked salmon and avocado starter with our Sunday dinner last night.



The azalea box and bay are now accompanied by several pots of chilli plants outside the kitchen patio door, and all along the paving by the back of the house.


To go with the dill we have some parsley growing at the bottom of the wall and some mint in a windowbox.



We have flowers too... These violas have been providing colour for months.



They are joined now by some sweet william, dark purple aqualegia and huge aliums.




And there is plenty more to come. The greenhouse and coldframe are still full of seedlings! Anybody need some dill?
