Delightful Spots In our April Garden

Early in the morning, when the light is fresh and special, I like to walk around the garden. I make believe that it has trails along the garden to hideout corners where a surprise awaits me. I make believe the trails are stretching and winding around the flowers for miles. On one bright morning I took the camera and looked closely at my favorite flowers. At the far end of the garden a Red Abutilion is raging.
I enjoy the flowers, but my To Do List is growing:
Prune the vines around the Red Abutilion, before it is too late.
Fertilize the Citrus fruit dwarf trees.
Plant more vegtables.
Make the new red stepping stones even with the soil.
Buy some Sulfur to cure the diseased Peach. Poor Peach, a fungus attacked it and the leaves are curled.

I walk back on the trail leading to the grape vine arbour. Behind the swing a glorious new Peony.



The corner under the kitchen window is my cottage garden. Under a low trellis a delicate Clematis is trying to climb up.




I once read an article about a garden with 6000 Clematis plants. I wish I had only 600 clematis climbing all around the fences. Have a look at the one behind the pink abutilion.


The tiny red garden pencil add some notes to the Garden To Do List:
Find the special name for every Clematis in the garden.
Do not forget to plant the new impressive red Clematis.
Fertilize! Fertilize everywhere.

I climbed slowly the four steps back to the veranda. For a moment I turned back to the garden and saw the apple trees just starting to have some green leaves and flower buds.
