@dinkydog87 @TheMontyDon The mound and the new paradise garden are perhaps the best examples. They are complete little gardens with a seating area, paths and diverse planting in beds and pots. Trees and herbaceous plants, flowers and edibles.
@dinkydog87 @TheMontyDon You have probably noticed that Longmeadow is made up of many small gardens. Some of them are small enough to be realised in a suburban plot - or at least partly: the dry garden, spring garden, the mount, the herb garden, the orchard beds,...
The 'Tom Thumb' peas have started to flower although they are so small still. And a few days later, there were the first pods.
Still need to pot them on... and hopefully they will grow a bit more then.
@MisterMacphisto Even within the Champagne region only a strictly limited volume from specific vineyards can be sold as champagne. That's how they keep the prices high.
As the narcissi are fading, my leopard's bane (Doronicum orientale) is coming into flower. It's a seedling from mum's garden. They are my favourite spring perennial and bees love them, too.
Sugar peas have come up last weekend and calendulas, too.
For one day it was even warm enough to put the tomatoes and chillies outside in the afternoon.
@GraceMartino1@theAliceRoberts They multiplied like crazy last year because of the heat (and abundance of aphids). Now they're all coming out of their winter quarters.
