Things are growing.... slowly!

To say that the weather has been against us gardeners and growers in the UK is a bit of an understatement to say the least.


In March we had glorious sunshine and temperatures of 20c and above.  April in contrast has been cold, windy and very very wet.  The flower plots are sodden and struggling to hold any more water.  Which considering they're on the side of a hill just goes to show how much rainfall we've had in the last few weeks.


On a happier note.... things are ever so slowly starting to grow and come into flower.  Thankfully the Peonies are just starting to break open their buds.  They're such beautiful flowers it's a shame that they have such a short flowering season.

So whilst the weather is wet, we're busy getting things in order for all the lovely summer weddings we have and dreaming of sunshine and a flower plot full of flowers.


Bye for now!
