I can only marvel at May and what it has brought to the garden…
As the trees have become fully-leaved, the boundaries of the garden have softened and it has closed in on itself and anyone walking through it, enveloping everything in the luxuriance of recent growth. A mixture of gentle warmth and equally gentle rain has made magic, transforming the garden from youthful spring to eager early summer, the garden poised to pounce into full-blown abundance .
Ducking under and brushing past its fresh exuberance, come and ramble round with me, starting at the back of the house looking towards the sitooterie. Less exuberant than usual for this time of year are all the clematis, very evident here in the guise of the nearly naked trellis on the right; throughout the garden some have not emerged at all, whilst those that have are growing at a far slower rate than usual, unlike the roses which are very much ahead of themselves. I have managed to squeeze two new roses into the shrub border this year, but you would need to walk with me in person to get the full effect of them and will have to make do with the photographs below instead.
The paths through the woodland have recently been redefined by the addition of fresh bark, and walking through it reminds me what a successful feature this has become, the effect of a natural woodland but within the confines of a garden. The bothy at the end of it allows for a view over the bottom end of the garden, particularly the main borders, and this is also shown in the view from the back of the shed. There were still some gaps in these borders earlier in the year, but I have been working to plug them and hopefully progress will be visible later in the year. It is clear from the last of these three

3 Reasons Why Birds May Not Be Using Your Bird Bath
Watching birds sip and splash around in your bird bath is enjoyable, and it’s also a great way to support a healthy bird population year-round. “During hot summer months and drought, there aren’t many water sources, and a bird bath can become quite popular amongst the local birds,” says Jennifer McCarthy Tyrrell, engagement manager, Audubon South Carolina. “During the winter when water is locked up in the form of ice, providing fresh water with a bird bath heater can bring in many birds for a drink.”

How Long To Water Grass, According To Experts
Drive through the neighborhood or the local park, and chances are you'll see the sprinklers in full force at various times of day, especially when temperatures increase. Lawn is known for being a water guzzler because it needs plenty of H20 to stay healthy. Yet leaving the sprinklers on for a long time doesn't mean it's better for the grass. Watering for too long, at the wrong time of day, or incorrectly costs money and wastes a precious resource. The way you water, how long, and when are all important factors that can ensure you're watering effectively and sufficiently to keep your turf green and your wallet happy.
