April Garden

I've been pretty busy during April mainly clearing this area around the pool , although it still needs attention especially the nettles growing under the Spirea.

The Camellias  have done well as usual, although this one was being choked by the winter Clematis growing on the fence.

The wild life is also flourishing. This small black bumble bee is very attracted to the Pulmonaria flowers. I believe it is the hairy footed flower bee. Not one I've seen before. Also the Robins have hatched their first brood and I keep disturbing young robins in the shrubbery.
