view of the back of my house. Mine is the half to the left. You can see the conservatory on the back. There's quite a lot of level changes in the form of stairs, terraces and porches

there's a pretty steep rise to the side of the house with some stairs that lead up to parts of the rest of the development. I took this picture while coming down the stairs with the dog after a walk. That's the front of my house.

Good Morning! This isn't a posed shot. She was like this when I came back to my room after a shower last week sometime.

Mom, this is the pot of dirt plant. You bought it stating "it's supposed to look like this now, it's got healthy roots." But I have no idea what it is. Any ideas?

**ETA** Apparently I have a pot of lillies. I have no idea what kind or when I acquired them but there you go. I will plant them out in the garden next weekend.

The fritillaria is not a very photogenic little plant. I think i need to give it a different backdrop! But it's gotten much taller and there's a second smaller on next to it but out of shot.

Progress on the seedlings. Two varieties of tomatoes are big enough to go out into the garden. The other two are still very titchy. I may not get a crop off them this year. Next year, I'll seed them out in January or even December

Comfrey in the garden. I don't know if it was planted or just wild

Lovage. Tastes just like celery, therefore likely to become mostly a weed to me. Sigh.. why couldn't it taste like something good?

The slightly overexposed collection of pots. The strawberry plants are soooo green. they look very healthy. I hope they stay that way. Roses are taking to the sunshine very well.

I think this photo will come out sideways, but Mom, what is it? It hasn't quite bloomed yet, but it distinctly downward facing. Its one of those Beth Chatto bulbs. It's almost open and looks like it'll be purple-ish with yellow-green accents, but may completely change once opened.

**EDIT** I think it is a Fritillaria acmopetala!! Look

A green man overlooks, tho will probably be relocated at a later date. A pot of lovely blue muscari and my potted olive tree enjoying a bit of spring sunshine

My 'take a break' spot. it was lovely and sunny this bank holiday weekend. I got my laundry line sorted, the beds weeded and seeded. all around productive.
