I love April, aside from the weather being unpredictable (it can be anything from snow to perpetual showers to glorious sunshine) the last two weeks in April are when the countryside in Sussex really spring to life. Suddenly the trees that were bare for months have fresh vibrant green leaves appearing, blossom appears, and birdsong tumbles out of the trees and from rooftops.
And the same happens in my garden...

| Garden snapshot - April 2014 |
The neighbours' new fence is finally up! It's a closed board fence which seems much more sturdy and resilient that the previous flimsy panelled fence. So my task this weekend will be to re-attach the clematis, blackberries and loganberries to the fence.
The cherry tree is in blossom, hollyhocks are sprouting, the 'Nelly Moser' clematis (currently laying on the ground) is in bud and the tulips are out in full glory. Everything is poised to spring into life!
