Mid May colour in the garden.🌱
A little early morning weeding, 5.30am to be exact, in my own neglected little garden.
A result of growing flowers for a living, this little patch gets rather forgotten. Some gems blooming this morning though!

I was married under wisteria 16 years ago, such a wonderful colour

7am, at the plot, cutting Sweet Williams😍🌿
Beautiful birdsong!
