Just in time for Father’s Day

As my family were to gather at my place for the obligatory Father’s Day luncheon for our dad, I had only the Saturday in which to get garden things down. In particular, I wanted to finish off the front mulch path. 

It was hard work all day, starting early in the morning and going into late afternoon. I was aching at the end of the day, but it was worth every pain!

You can see below how the mulch path splits the front yard into two long strips that I intend to turn into garden beds for annuals until I can decide precisely what I want as the final design. This is merely the cheapest and most useful option for the front yard so I don't have to continually weed the whole thing back and forth. Not to mention, this way I have more space to grow annual fruit and vegetable plants. 

After all the work, I then took the opportunity to admire my collection of potted plants. Lots of flowers.

Below is the Fantasia nectarine in flower. The flowers are beautiful.

The first of two Ever Red rhubarb crowns that I bought over the winter has been throwing up lots of healthy looking stalks.

Annoyingly, the cauliflowers that I'd been trying to get growing all winter have decided to finally grow and the white cabbage moth caterpillars that decimated the early seedlings in autumn obviously aren't around to kill them off now. I'm not sure whether I'll get any cauliflowers off it, but I may as well just let it keep growing.
