LAVENDER and ROSES

Today we have rain but the garden is loving it.  The new lawn is growing so well now that I can almost see it grow.  It is starting to thicken up with regular mowings and soon there will be no bald patches.  I have seeded those areas again, just in case!

Lavender and roses

I have new additions to my garden lavender - Munstead.  I already have the old English version and the leaves smell lovely when you brush past them.  Buds are forming on the roses.  Lavender and roses - the perfect combination.

The strawberry and tomato plants have embryo fruit on them.  All I have to do is get to the ripened fruit before the birds do.  Alfie, my cat, is keeping a careful watch over them.
