After creating havoc and shifting (with much help) a rhododendron in a barrel (Yakushimanum) and removing a couple more in large plastic posts, we got stuck into the mud and sand and repaved the area.
Then we replaced Rhododendron Cupcake (above in grey pot) and tidied up,
feeling pleased that we had solved the Rhododendron-meets-giant-hosta-and-blocks-passageway problem.

But we still had another problem – the second big grey tub, one small (elderly, decrepit) trolley and two (ditto) people.
And there it will have to stay until other works are finished round the front of the garden.

It seems your bulbs are coming up as well. Are they tulips? It looks as if you are living in a milder climate, everything so lush and green looking.
Yes, they are tulips, the first early ones are already opening. However, we live in a very unpredictable climate, although the garden (and the birds) think it’s spring, we are still waiting for winter to come. We could have frosts and snow up until May. If this happens many plants and shrubs will suffer.
I’m jealous! Here we’re still deep in snow.
What a lovely garden you have. So nice to see all that healthy green :).
We may still have snow to come (see above). I am waiting with fleeces at the ready to cover shrubs that are far too advanced for the time of year. We are indeed very lucky to have a big enough garden to play in.
It’s impressive to see the variety of plants that tolerate the climate. It looks wonderful. I miss growing roses here. But even here we can get cold spells until early June. I’d love to have a garden like yours 😜
Frosts for the last two nights. I rush around with fleeces because so many shrubs have started in leaf.
What a huge job, and well done. And you saved the best for last. . . .violets. I can hardly wait for Spring! Wonderful Wednesday. . . .
I have never know our violets grow so tall and lush, and they have been there all through winter… the weather is very strange.
