Well done Barry and Miranda

The new fence along the boundary with number 41 really finishes the garden off and gets rid of the last images of it being uncared for.
Note how beautifully Tony and Malcolm's azalea is flowering, rather better than the one in their own garden even!
I have put in some more flowers in the middle bed, and I planted a Penelope rose from our garden in there too, as a little statement piece.
We have lots of little seedlings growing out the back, so as long as we get a bit of sun, we should be able to maintain some colour out there.
The tall daffs need to come out as they obscure the back border, we can replant them in September.

Bursting into Spring

Good news from Tony !
He has spoken to Yvonne, the person doing the Better Neighbourhood thing for our area and she is going to get us a plaque for the garden. It can go over the sign at the back that isn't very lovely and doesn't do much for the garden.
I'm going to start work on removing the front shrubs now they have flowered.
Anyone with a few minutes to spare can help by doing a bit of weeding in the back border.
If you only have five minutes, you could try to get a couple of big weeds out of the paths.
We need to dig over the strip by the fence and add some manure, too.
