Here is how the garden looked from our living room at the end of April:

Lovely but completely out of date already. Heading towards the end of May the underlying structure is still there but growth is much thicker and the spot light has moved to different plants – for example, the tulips are gone but the flax (an insignificant green clump in the centre here) is now crowned with blue, contrasting with a row of bright yellow California poppies in front of it.

Perhaps next year I’ll try a daily timelapse as winter rolls through spring and onto summer. That would give a fascinating insight into how the garden changes over time.
