Now that we are half way through April the garden is beginning to come to life. The daffodils are nearly over but tulips are looking lovely and early clematis are in flower. I have noticed flower buds on my wisteria and early flowering perennials.
Make sure you keep up with weeding as all the rain we have had really makes the devils grow!
Also if you have lilies in the garden look out for red lily beetle, you can,t miss them as they are scarlet and rather like elongated ladybirds without the spots. They will happily munch up all your lilies in a very short time, I pick them off and squash them. You have to do this carefully as they seem to detect any movement and will fall off the plant on to the soil. They are very difficult to find then.
