My garden is growing at Casa Debbio. We have had some rain and lovely sunshine to speed things along. The weather has been patchy and not all that warm. We had snow on nearby mountains last week.
Our biggest cherry tree has bloomed and soon there will be tiny cherries appearing.
My favourites, the peonies, are developing at different times. Some are still just poking their heads through the soil while some are flowering.
My most favourite peony, the one that gets more than 50 blooms, is well on the way.
This year I have planted Schiaparelli pink geraniums in the pots around the house.
Red ones are planted on the terrace beside the house. There are violets and little white flowers under the pots. I planted the white ones last year and they appeared to drop dead immediately, but they reappeared thus year…what a surprise!
Lilacs are flowering for the first time.
Rhododendrons are looking gorgeous.
Yellow tulips appeared.
Wisteria is about to bloom.
I have planted lupins in the hope they will spread over the terraces.
Roses are about to appear.
The kiwi plants are growing like mad.
The sage has grown yellow flowers.
Aquilegias are popping up all over the place.
Tiny grape hyacinths have bloomed and are on the way out.
I’m hoping the petunias will spill over their pots soon.
At the moment the garden is still patchy…I want it all to happen now! In a few weeks the lavender will be looking great and the paths will smell delicious when I brush past the lavender flowers. It is fun to watch the garden change every day.
Here are my newly planted red geraniums enjoying the view and some spring sunshine.
