April makes my heart sing when I wander around the garden.
Colour, form, growth. It's all coming alive.
My Camassia plants have doubled in size and are a beautiful blue mist.
Clematis Montana is doing her best to cover a long fence at the end of the garden. Sadly she is over so quickly. I have to make the most of her while she is at her most lovely.
The greenhouse is full of babies.
There is no room for the tomatoes to be planted until the weather is warm enough for all these little plants to go out.
There are Cosmos, Phlox, Argyranthemum, Arctotis and more.
I always wonder which rose will be the first to flower. It looks as though it could be Peace, but Zephirine Drouhin will be a close second, I think.
And finally, in a little wildish corner under the apple tree, grow my Cowslips. Not many, but still treasured. Next to them is an old favourite, London's Pride, I remember it growing in my grandmother's garden.
So many of my plants nurture the sentimental side of me.
I hope your April gardens are giving you pleasure.

your garden looks a lot further on than mine! It all looks so lovely.
It's all looking very good, -1 here tonight so I have had to cover the seedlings in the greenhouse up.
Mine is nothing like as planned and beautiful as yours, but still gives me joy. How lovely to see the London Pride. I found myself singing Noel Cowards great song!!
Beautiful photos of your garden in flower. I have a lovely display of cowslips this year. They seem to have multiplied as I have several new plants this year. Hugs ValeryAnne.
Your garden looks lovely . . . spring is such a marvelous time of the year. Enjoy :)
We are enjoying the many pink azaleas planted by the former owners, as well as some lily-of-the-valley. Irises are about to bloom. Yes, spring is an exciting and beautiful time!
My lilacs are a delight right now, and I have a few tulips. Soon the peonies will be in bloom and the roses and hydrangea after that! Your clematis is lovely!
Your garden is full of delights. Ours is definitely a few weeks behind. Sentimental flowers are lovely - I plant things because of family members, too.
Oh this looks all wonderful, Barabara, enjoy! April is a wonderful month indeed.
Hugs Carolien
so lovely!!! I love gardens so much!!! I recently saw some most beautiful tulips in NYC (we live in NJ near to Manhattan) at a park, was just lovely!!! I am so glad you have such flowers to take delight in!
I can see why your garden is giving you joy!
We have sweet peas popping up, marigolds, and pansies. Oh! And California poppies. I'm getting itchy to sow the zinnias!
Your garden is so beautiful! I have heard of cowslips but never seen them before, what a treat! Our garden is just beginning to bloom. April makes my heart song too :)
Elizabeth, so lovely! I have some purple clematis growing up the mailbox pole. I love the rich color.
So lovely. Today it's not raining and it was so nice to walk about the yard and see how things are growing.
Hi Elizabeth, You have a very nice variety of plants. The blue mist plant is lovely. Like you, I prefer plants that remind me of loved ones. I hope you will have a very enjoyable upcoming weekend.
Oh such beauty, I could almost smell the fragrance through the computer screen.
My grandmother enjoyed her flower gardensand I became just like her. :)
The calender tells us it's Spring, but our weather is telling us differently. The moisture is always welcome.
Have a beautiful weekend ♡
I love cowslips, and they are so rarely seen these days. My somewhat sheltered garden took a hammering from frost the other night and a lot of things have shrivled up, hope they revive.
Oh my goodness...just beautiful Barbara :0) and yes, my garden is bursting! mari
