April has again seen the garden flourish and many of the plants and shurbs are blossoming, non more so than the Iris we planted at the rear and south facing wall. In full sun most of the day, it have rapidly grown as all the plants seem to in the conditions.During early April, we again treated the grass with Verdone that fees the weeds and causes them to grow too quickly, dying as a result. Our visit at the end of April showed that the weeds had again been attacked and as each year goes by there are less to tackle.
Our hard work over previous years is paying dividends, as the shrub beds need less weeding and the bark/mulch is doing it's job. We still have to remember that we are merely taming a field to create a garden, but we seem to slowly be succeeding and can enjoy the environment we have created.
