It's May Bank Holiday Monday here in the UK and for once the weather is glorious! Our Bank Holidays are notorious for bad weather, but after such a cold Spring we are due a bit of sunshine. All the blossom and bulbs are out together and I can't resist showing you my garden and especially my tulips!
This is my view as I sit at my computer typing this - the shot is a bit blurry but it is taken through glass - followed by my containers of tulips in front and back gardens -
I followed Sarah Raven's method of planting the containers - Tulip Lasagna! It sort of works, as when tulips are planted in layers they do keep coming up and filling in! However, I didn't buy any of Sarah's wonderfully chosen mixes, I wasn't that organised, I bought packets of reduced ones in Homebase!
I also can't resist showing you the other view from my seat at the computer - Wilfred reclining on a pile of fabric of course! As you can see I have been having a bit of a rummage!
Enjoy May, it's the best month of the year for gardens and we have the Chelsea Flower Show in a couple of weeks - yippee!

Happy May day Mary,
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying beautiful NT gardens in Cornwall.
Your tulips are way ahead of mine, perhaps mine will be out when I get back home.
Your garden looks delightful.
Your tulip container is gorgeous! Lovely view from your window by the computer.:)
ReplyDeleteThe tulips are stunning! I keep meaning to try that layering- will have to get in some hasty planting for our spring :)
ReplyDeleteNow I see what you mean about the tulip lasagne. It's fab-u-lous . . V x
