Spring in our garden

So it turns out that our garden is not immune to Graeme's constructions. Here is one he made earlier:

Nicknamed the "nano-tunnel" it is 1m square and will house some oriental salads once I have bought some enviromesh to staple to the frame. Possibly a little unconventional for a border right by the front door but I like it anyway!

We have given our front lawn a haircut too:

The daffodils that have sprung up in the middle of the lawn are not meant to be there ... I will move them to the flower borders in the next week. We have saved the grass clippings to line the trenches for the potatoes (as suggested on the RHS web-site). The daffodils are beginning to bloom now. Here's a pic of the border the other side of the path:

Looking very spring-like! We have a lovely display of cyclamen and pulmonaria at the end of the front garden:

The black grasses (no idea what variety) were iridescent in the sunshine. In the back garden there is much less to see except a hellebore which has flowered its socks off and is going over now:

And a hyacinth in full bloom:

Note to self: Need more spring flowering bulbs in back garden!

Finally, this is where all the seed action is taking place for the allotment:

The green buckets house my dahlia tubers which I am hoping to bring on under cover until the frosts are over.
