Last day of April garden

Looking east: we can use the deck now it's not overlooking a stinky, mosquito-infested pond. Already anticipating the roses and lavendar in bloom.

Lots and lots of rose bushes now, including four climbers/ramblers along the newly-repaired fence. Just need to carry up a few more stepping-stones and many more buckets of mulch.

The mexican daylily bulbs are already pointing through the mulch, and all the rosebushes are leafing up nicely.

The first iris is flowering! It's in the south-west corner, behind one of the hydrangeas.
