The garden has sudenly gone into overdrive and with some
sun today is anxious to show what it can do.
It is producing a bud on the pink rose Siobhán Ní Fhoghlú gave us.
And the rambler at the back of the shed is excelling itself.
One of our Foxgloves has put in a serious challenge to the Triffid
And the Clematis has at last realised that its job is to cover the
ruin at the bottom of the garden
Like our neighbour has done with a Montana Rubens
The Ivy which started its life in a pot guarding the church doors at
Caitriona’s wedding now is rapidly covering the lattice as intended
The Herbs are trying to be shrubs
even the herb annual seeds are coming on
Meanwhile…indoors the Amaryllis has caught the
rising of sap and flowered
But best of all, my Mothers Christmas Cactus which has sulked
since we moved out of Mary Street has at last decided to bloom
…in May!

on May 17, 2007“Rosebud!”, as Citizen Kane says finally. But you’ll be in trouble when I tell Siobhan Ni Fhoghlu what you called her. She’s one rose you shouldn’t call by any other name.
Garden looks well – when are you coming to give ours a make-over?
Too long since we talked – I’ll just have to read about you in the IT.

on May 18, 2007Ah sure it’s so nice to be named in one of the best, and soon to be famous, blogs that I can overlook the use of only my patronym. [Martin, does the word ‘uxornym’ or some such exist?].
The publicity is very well deserved and transformation of the garden puts many of us to shame.

on May 18, 2007I am justly rebuked but the Rose is now renamed and Inion Ni Fhoghlu is a maiden once again.
