Ella, everyone,
Surely it's time for an update.
Everything is poised and ready to burst into colour for the summer, although because of how far north I live it can vary drastically when summer actually is, for me it's when the lilies and lupins are in bloom which looks to be about another 4 - 6 weeks yet. The only thing that's in bloom at the moment in my garden is the broom, I think they call it Scotch Broom in the states, although from what I was reading the other day and the fact that it's classed as an invasive species you might as well be calling 'spawn of the devil broom'. I got mine for free from next to the canal, they were only about 6 inches high but they put up a hell of a fight— I had to go back home and get a shovel. That was about four years ago and now they are about 9 - 10 feet tall so I suppose they must be happy or planning a takeover. Here's a pic

Sadly Lazarus the amazing log who thought it was still a tree from my previous post on this thread failed to capitalise on his early potential and is now just an ordinary log again.
I'll post another update when the lilies and lupins are in bloom.
Anyone else with a garden? Then share it here... That's an order not a request.
