I promised some photos of my flowers, when they happened. Well, here's what was on show when I arrived home.
I haven't got my holiday photos in a small enough to send to the list I'm having trouble downloading pixresizer to do the job.
They are coming...
Meantime, here's some daffodils,


My first early spuds are going strong

And the big cherry on the front boundry

Love the daffs! Is it a fruiting cherry - I mean edible ones or just decorative?

no, it's just decorative, we wouldn't get any fruit anyway, the number of birds around here!

I didn't know that you could get different coloured daffodils, you learn something new everyday.

Oh gosh. you can get daffs in so many colour combinations i couldnt name them all. Everything from pure white,to pure yellow, to allsorts of combinations of yellow/orange/pink cup/petals to double ones and ones that come 3 on a stalk and miniatures and ones that have lots of tiny flowers on a stalk.

Love to look at them but way too much work and care for me, saddly no green finger here, the only things that thrive on my place is Koolies.

Actually dogs and gardens are a little difficult to work together. Shrubs are good, and trees, perennials that come back again if they get stomped or chewed up by puppies.
Those pretty annuals and delicate flowers sort of have to be saved for an area that the dogs only have access to under supervision, or be fenced off. I have some little fences which are more a token gesture, a line in the sand so to speak, which my guys accept as a "do not walk" sign.
Violets are a good ground cover, they don't seem to mind how much they get stomped on!
