Cathy from NanaCathy, knowing my penchant for pineapples kindly sent me a photo of a pineapple door wreath made out of sunflowers, so instead of doing the digging and the weeding as intended, of course I had to have a play. Thank you Cathy for the inspiration, it was fun! 😀
Luckily the weather has been glorious this Easter here in the UK and I have been blissfully gardening each day, so some digging and weeding got done eventually.
Most of my garden is still waiting for much needed attention, but there are little cameos here and there that I love
Self sown cerinthe survived the winter under the espalier pears
Early morning sun through the amalanchier sings spring!
and the randomly planted Brompton Stocks, wallflowers and other self-seeded joys are really perking up in the sunshine
I do hope you have been able to enjoy a garden somewhere this Easter.
Pop along to see what other gardeners have been up to at Rambling in the Garden.

I remember your thing about pineapples…always think of you when I see them, the motif, making my pineapple carvings before eating them! These are really inspired and so you!

Your garden looks beautiful Cathy. Spring has to be my favourite season and last week’s fabulous weather just showed it off to perfection!

Sorry Sandra! I’m writing as I do the school run and put Cathy by mistake – one job too many in the multitasking stakes this morning! 😉

No problem at all – Cathy is a popular name in blogland. I hope one day I will know your name, I’m going to have to think of a nick-name for you – PFG doesn’t sound friendly enough.
I love Spring too – things change everyday, so much to see on my early morning walk round the garden with a cuppa.

I bought them in the local market in the Autumn, I wasn’t sure if they would like my border which gets very wet, but they have thrived – I will plant some more in next year for sure.

So I’ll look into planting them in the fall also. So many things I used to think of to plant in spring do much better with fall planting. Thanks.

I knew of course they wouldn#t be real pineapples and I should have guessed that this is the line you were going to be going down – so imaginative and effective! I love these flat lays that you have introduced us to ps nice to see what is giving you pleasure in your own garden today too

Wonderful floral pineapples! No gardening in Maine over the Easter weekend. Too wet. But in a way, that’s all right. We are actually beginning to see green shoots in the garden. Not as lovely as where you live, but spring is coming to Maine.

Love your floral pineapples, we have one sitting on the counter ripening. DH is determined to get a top to root this year.🍍 we had a lovely soft rain for Easter and cool temperatures, perfect for the seeds and transplants. I’m hoping to see some rows when the sun comes up this morning. It will be cloudy again, but a little warmer today, perfect transplant weather.🌦

So amazing that your climate can switch to growing weather so quickly after the snow. Pineapples in the fruit bowl always mean celebration in our family. I hope you get one to root – I tried once years agoo and failed, so I’m interested to hear whether your DH succeeds.

I will keep you posted! The weather is still pretty unsettled, the early forecast says a possibility of rain/snow on MAy 1. 😡 we only have the cool season stuff in, so it should be fine, but we will be watching closely.

I think you’ve actually had better weather in the U.K. than we’ve had here in S.W. France this Easter but, as we’re toiling away trying to get our bathroom totally renovated, it’s probably just as well.
Love those pineapples.

So glad you got some gardening done after I distracted you. The garden looks very pretty and I love your pineapples. We spent yesterday afternoon sitting in the garden stopping Toddler J from going to near the pond and greenhouse . Today looks just as wonderful. We are going a walk this morning.
