Meanwhile back at home ...

In only two weeks away everything in the garden has gone ballistic. All the fruit trees are in leaf, the lettuces and beetroot have doubled in size, so it's definitely time to get more vegetables in the potager. This year, the clematis has already reached the entrance stairwell banister, the roses are starting to bloom and the jasmine is taking off too. After all the upheaval last year, the garden is really starting to take shape and grow well.

The wisteria is in out in full force:

and our first Sweet Pea are flowering too.
