I love seeing what you have done and how far that your yard has come in such a short time. You have worked so hard and created such a gorgeous retreat. Well done Darren!

Wow spring has definitely progressed quickly for you! What a difference a couple weeks has made. I was planning on doing my first mowing today or tomorrow but it's in the 30Fs today and supposed to be down in the 20Fs tonight. This after being in the 60Fs and 70Fs the past two days but with rain, rain, and more rain. I think I am going to have to do edging like you have as I won't be able to set in the rolled edging anytime soon and the grass is encroaching everywhere. 4-5 more days of rain predicted this coming week. All my mail order plants are going to have to go into pots. Can't wait to see your Louise Odier blooming - she was one of my favorite old roses. And I think that was a good choice you made to double up those arches. I have 7 new clematis starts this year which I have got to get supports on. They won't be ready to go out for a month or more and are falling over and tangling up.

Kristine, you always make me smile. You’re very lovely! Thanks my love. Big hug.

Wow! Can you please send me a photo of all your new Clematis in flower this Summer? I’d very much like to see. Thank you for your lovely praises.... they’re encouraging. I hope the rain lessens asap for you. We’ve had the wettest winter and spring... I hope it doesn’t extend to the summer 🤪

Much love to all. X

Ps, yes, so annoying when grass grows into the border. Once a year a good edging should do the trick. Makes the whole garden look so much better, for not too much an effort. :)

Darren...your spring garden is looking beautiful! I adore your perfectly edged grass especially, and your pretty box balls in containers. I am really looking forward to seeing all your roses in bloom. Please post another video!
