Spring is slowly showing its lovely face at Casa Debbio. We are 630 metres above sea level so it is a little behind Bagni di Lucca, but my weeping cherry is looking gorgeous.
There was a small fig tree in this position and I had it taken out to put the cherry in. There was a loud protest from Sisto, who was helping, but I stuck to my guns and am very happy I did so. This beautiful tree greets me as I come up the driveway.
The daffodils are almost finished, but the fruit trees have tiny buds and there is a tinge of green on some of the trees. I am hoping the lavender will start to grow soon…I’ll keep you posted.
My new terra cotta bench is in position.
The table is still wrapped up…I need more pairs of hands for that one.
We have some gorgeous new/old pots. They are waiting for geraniums to appear in the nurseries. I want some great big red ones.
The magnolia tree has big flowers, which will be finished soon. Fabulous growth is required from the tree this year to provide shade in front of the house.
We can see a huge improvement in our new garden this year…and it will only get better.
Beautiful pictures telling a story.

Your magnolia tree is indeed gorgeous. What a lovely and cheering thing to see every time you drive up to the Casa.

The weeping cherry is putting on a great show and looks like the giant magnolia flowers have been lovely. Love your terracotta bench. Hope you get plenty of sitting around time on it in the spring. Bet Jim is impressed . Well done, looks fabulous.

With a bit of luck the pergola will begin next week. I can’t wait to see it all in place.

The cherry blossoms must be full of very happy bees – it’s so very pretty. The terracotta bench is lovely as is the fat little pot of pansies. There’s always something new to see, isn’t there, no matter how many times you wander in the same garden – and I don’t think a garden is ever finished.

The tree also looks good when the leaves come, but the few weeks when it is in flower are special.

Your weeping cherry tree flowers look like little pink bells dangling in the breeze. Such a pretty tree in a very lovely garden. Great photos Debra, thanks for sharing them.
