What a glorious Easter weekend we are having - it is not often that here in the UK we get warm, sunny weather for the entire Easter weekend, especially when it falls early in April. The last three evenings we have sat on the balcony, enjoying a glass of wine until after 7 o'clock, without shivering from the cold.
We also got much work done in the garden. Looking at my trellice and noticing many bare spaces I had a trip to the market on Saturday where I managed to buy a whole bunch of clematis and honeysuckles. They were virtually giving them away at £3 each - I think I will definitely have another trip to the market next Saturday.
Since I've got the week off work it is going to be a major gardening week. I will at last finish my large L-shaped border on which I have been working for the last couple of years. I need three more large thin conifers and about half a dozen large shrubs, which I will plant this week. Then, all that is left to do is fill the gaps with herbaceous plant and do the underplanting with bulbs and groundcover plants. Then back to work for a nice rest next week.
