Garden work - making progress


The Bay shrub on Tuesday...

 now nicely shaped the way I like it...

cuttings from Rosemary, Salbei, Lavender, Bay....twigs...and....and...
looks like part of a florist shop

sorting out what to keep to distribute throughout the house


using the old florist zinc buckets...

...which I painted to give them a more 'sophisticated' look

Oskar - who else!
...apart from following me allover around - pretty useless!

the aromatic smell of the bay and herbs - a 'knock-out'!



***

The Peaonies....The Peaonies....

sprouting like mad..
...all happened during the last few days
and this one developed already some buds - far too early!

these 'early' tulips now fully blooming



 Cherry tree and blue sky

semi wild Lilac tree....

Everything is so exiting - and I can walk bare feet!


HAPPY AND SUNNY WEEKEND FOR ALL OF YOU!

  4. Wow Karin you really have been hard at work and your bay shrub looks wonderful. Maybe Oskar was enjoying your gardening day as well. Your entryway, the inside of your home is stone too? You know I’m jealous right? The whole place is fabulous!

    Have a wonderful weekend!
