    The rain has finally stopped and the garden is refreshed and ready to ' pop'
    I mentioned earlier that I thought my experiment of leaving our Dahlias in situ during the winter had failed miserably...but how wrong was I :yes: So far only one hasn't returned but as it stands at the moment I have found 10. One here is full of buds.

                  My lavender's looking so beautiful at the moment. Husband is insisting it can't stay here (it used to be next to the shed, the shed is now gone, this part of the garden is due to be lawn) and I'm desperately hoping we can move it rather than lose it.

                    Aww!! love Lavender @Arlandria ...I'm going to miss my 3 big ' bushes ' of it this year. We had to dig them up and ditch them as they had got too big and sadly became very woody. We now have lots of new , but much smaller ones scattered around the garden, I'm sure the Bee's will find them and love them still!!:biggrin:
