a tiny garden in North East Wales
It's May, and by now our tubs and planters are usually filled with spring flowering annuals providing a riot of colour. Pansies cheerfully nodding their heads in the blustery winds that blow up and down our valley, while we wait for the summer show offs, the peonies, the clematis and of course, the roses. You may already have these flowering in your garden, but here in Wales, north Wales, the space time continuum as far as plants is concerned, is a little later than everyone else, and of course the frosts can still throw a spanner in the works! I say usually! This is May 2020 and the World is a very different place than 2019. Here in Wales we are in lockdown although things may be easing soon. There have been no visits anywhere unless they are essential, so no trips to various garden centres for luscious plants. Indeed even sourcing stuff online has been difficult with everyone wanting everything from a workforce severely depleted due to closures, furloughs and social distancing
