Scattering Rabbits in the May Garden

The vintage West Country apples in our little orchard have burst into bloom



The May Garden has left less time for blog writing this year as i have spent every spare moment scattering Rabbits and gloomily looking at the borders. Little by little I think I have installed some order and I have finally finished my first circuit of the "main" garden with just the shelter belt and the long gravel border yet to tackle. Spud and Ollie have kept me company most of the time as i preened the Phormiium and Pampass grasses of the debris of winter finally releasing their natural movement from the decaying leaves.

The french lavender was a surprise survivor of the winter

Our humble Sycamore tree has it's own shady agenda

The garden was waiting for me

Some granite left over from building the
 parterre wall made a lovely rustic
path

I was quite pleased with the twirly whirly box last year -
can i repeat that success!

The echium is getting bigger and just starting to flower

Sunday was the most magical day with a mirror like
sea in Mounts Bay and not a cloud in the sky
