Front garden in Late May
It seems that the garden is responding well to the weather. The weeds are growing at a great rate! I'm a little concerned by the appearance of more Bindweed in the front garden - I will apply the appropriate weedkiller once the weather settles.
On a more positive note, the (non-weed) plants are also growing well with the gaps in the border nearest the drive slowly disappearing. I think we may have to rearrange the planting here in the next couple of years as the larger plants start doing battle for thir own territory. Watch this space!
Currently in bloom is the Clematis Montana over the front window, the Rhododendron by the front door and a Viburnum near the lounge window. The variegated Weigela (not shown) is also flowering but not as well as in previous years; a result of being kind to it last year and not hacking, sorry, pruning it as hard. The overall effect is pleasing in a pale pink and white way. As you know, Janet doesn't "do" pink, but has made exceptions as the effect is really quite pleasing.
-------------------------------------------------
The Rhododendron is rather hidden from view but is thriving in its new location, having been moved from the back garden a couple of year's ago. I'm not sure about pink and yellow (Euonymous) together, but it seems to work in this relatively shady spot.

Incidentally, the Viburnum (picture below) can be seen in the background of the photograph above. This works really quite better in the garden than it does in my photographs
