Updates from the garden…
Poppies that have self-seeded from last year will be in full flush by next week
Apple blossoms alight on all espaliered trees. Boxwood hedges being trimmed
along pathways, trellises in bud but not bloom. Putting favorite garden finds outside…
Just bits and pieces now….still waiting for the full Spring garden roll out…
How’s your garden growing??!

Loving your poppies!!! Needless to say, your garden is always an inspiration.
Thank you for all your updates.
Hi Clare…Poppy is “Lavender Breadseed” link here. Planted it years ago and has self seeded ever since.
Beautiful!
Thank you for filling my morning with joy.
You are so welcome, Mary!
Hi Trish,
These poppies are amazing! And already in flower! What beautiful images!
Your garden looks like already “Ready”! Bravo!
And have I spotted first roses..?..?
Very green here in the Perigord, but lost a few flowering ‘friends’ because of the long and cold winter.
And I’m still battling with weeds and brambles.
Looking so much forward to your next garden post.

Hi Karin! Yes…barely starting Bourbon roses Souvenir de Malmaison, Deuil de Dr. Reynaud (hot pink). Four arches covered with four old roses along this pathway. I’m still weeding also!
Oh, your wonderful garden is way ahead of mine. Much work to do. Yours is gorgeous! XO
Thanks for sharing the photos of your beautiful garden. It’s like an online garden tour. So much enjoyment for us all!
beautiful…I love the poppies…my box were trimmed in the fall – and I noticed this morning the apple tree is just starting to blossom 🙂 My magnolia is about to burst, but here in Vancouver it is way to wet to weed and truly get the gardens in order…I look forward to the end of April when hopefully the rain will subside and I can clean up my garden furniture in the courtyard, repaint my adirondack chairs, power wash, freshen up everything … and weed weed weed…for now, I’ll enjoy your gardens…
I need to get my own power wash. They are incredible. All my benches look like new! Wish there was a cure for the weeds!
Thanks for posting the link to Annie’s for the Poppy.
I just ordered 9 different ones including the one you photoed.
I planted 2 varieties in 4 inch pots…probably 10 years ago. Though the raspberry colored one didn’t reseed, this pink variety self-seeds like crazy. All free plants! The seed pods are beautiful as well. Hope you enjoy them!
so pretty… i would love to come walk thru your garden… and i am so sad to have missed you… so close… xoxo
Trish, just a beautiful post, the colour of that poppy is sooo gorgeous! Waiting very patiently for our spring to arrive, meanwhile my spirits are being uplifted by your beautiful garden photos. Hugs, Nella
Absolutely gorgeous!! Your pictures of the poppies are stunning!! All of my roses are about ready to burst open… can’t wait… and my lavender is in full bloom right now. Love this time of year!! Thank you for sharing!

Really!!! So incredible! Love your garden and adore your photography!
My garden is growing nicely!!!!!

Such rich colors of the poppies! But I also love the more subdued petals of the apple blossoms.
It is the same with humans, some of us are louder and demand attention, but just as valuable and beautiful
are those who are more serene and inconspicuous.
You’ve seen my garden, it needs TLC, but I will be able to give it just that soon, and hopefully
by the next time I see you, it will look more lovely.

WOW!!! Such a gorgeous garden! I could easily live there. I don’t have a green thumb, but you just inspired me to try again. Thanks for the link to Annie’s.
Your garden looks so beautiful even before its in full spring swing. Thank you for giving us the source for the poppies…I love the color and while I was reading my first question in the “comment” box was going to be, “where did you get the poppies”! 🙂
I’m working in my garden and will be adding my ever-blooming hydrangea this coming weekend. Spring is such a beautiful time to be in the garden. Thanks for the inspiration.

Your photographs are just gorgeous of those lush blossoms! Your garden will be spectacular as always and I look forward to seeing its progress this spring. Thanks for sharing such beauty! 🙂
This is definitely your time of year. These images are absolutely gorgeous! I would love to join you in your garden sometime. Mona
OMG! An absolutely GORGEOUS poppy!
We just planted platycodons, poppies and tree peonies today. Yeah! The soils is finally workable and sure smells great, you know?
Fallon from Garden Valley Ranch in Petaluma came a few weeks ago for a visit and taught us how to correctly prune roses. Are you very far from there?
I mean soil not soils!
This blog is absolutely beautiful and I will forward your wonderful work onto my readers. The beautiful photography, I am in awe!!! Congratulations
Trish,
A far cry from my garden in Vermont which is 98% mud and rain to go with it. But I did see a millimeter sized strawberry flower the other day and snow drops. Poppies to come…
Even your dry stone paths are a pleasure to my eye…let alone the plants! Those poppies really do steal the show I am sure.
always love your blog.
What a glorious way to start the day…with a walk through your garden. Absolutely delightful. My roses are coming to life again and that puts a song in my heart. Thank you for the link for the poppies, yours are beautiful.
new to wordpress and trying to find garden blogs….you’re my first! Pictures are beautiful & you just reminded me that I wanted to try poppoes this year, I always forget till I see someone’s elses.
Trish – to use an over used expression … “swoon”. Seriously beautiful garden you have there. We have nothing blooming yet, so nice to see things coming alive!!
These poppies are stunning. I love them
