What's Looking Good in April 2022

Thanks Zigs, yes on clay soil.

 

Anything organic you can spread as mulch will help, even shredded cardboard

More hedge flowers today

 

Thank you @Zigs

 

Tetters will know which this one is

 

These ones look good to me now. Corydalis solida "White Knight", Erythronium hendersonii, and Adonis amurensis plena.

 

What a lovely sight, Droopske. That will brighten up anyone’s day.

 

That is Lonicera tatarica. I pinched a cutting when we visited the Isle of Sheppey off Kent one day. We used to grow the shrub honeysuckle at work .

 

@Droopy - these are so beautiful. I could look at them all day, especially the cheery yellow one.

 

Apple blossom, the frost hasn't got to it this year so should have a lot of cookers.

 

Hope there's a good crop Logan

 

My hydrangeas are alive!!!!!

 

Thank you Zigs.

That's great @Shawchert

 

Hedgeflowers are taking over the new water butts



And it looks like there's a new Song Thrush around

After the terrible snow/ice storm just over a year ago, we thought we'd lost several roses, including our climbing Clytemnestra. She survived, gave us one bloom last year, and this year is blossoming like mad. We did lose three roses, but are so grateful the others survived.
