WHAT'S LOOKING GOOD IN MAY 2019

April thread here

Our "lollypop" acer in our small front garden.

Lots of green blooms.

Our trio of azaleas around the sambucas tub.

I'm trying to get them to grow tall enough to hide the tub. We would have swapped it for the stellar cherry in the tub in the small patio, if it had had more blooms earlier. But maybe next year.

The smallest of our two acer palmatums I gave it "a haircut" yesterday, well.. evened up its "fringe" with some shears.

One of our six wisterias. They are quite resiliant.

Last year it was supported by the trunk of an old tree, I cut down more than ten years ago.

But it rotted fron the base and I had to unwind the wisteria before removing the trunk.

Now it's supported by a recycled bird feeder and is none the worse for its adventure.

Beautiful, how old is your tree and what kind of apple?

Mine isn’t the prettiest garden but we’ve been having a lot of home renovations. Second year at this and love it. In the pics are Roma tomatoes, beefsteak hybrid tomato, yellow tumbling toms, brandy wine, super sweet tomatoes, ornamental peppers, banana peppers, potato’s, purple pole beans, bush beans, white wonder cucumbers, one tea rose bush and some other stuff that hasn’t sprouted yet! I also have 4 blueberry bushes, 3 apple trees, 1 plum tree, and a bing cherry tree but they are just little things.

May has arrived on the wet side...

these standard lilacs, planted last year, seem to be in the right spot.
As they mature, their canopy's should slightly blend together.
these beds will be worked and mulched shortly.

Beautiful garden as always Sean.
Can I please ask how you actually put the new bird feeder support on the wysteria? I have a standard wysteria which does not stand alone. I've actually got it tied on 2 sided to star pickets which I have tried to disguise with obolisks. I'd love to put some type of support directly around the trunk but I'm nervous I'll dig into the rootball and kill it.

@Tetters that last pic of the gorse I think that it's upside down.
