How does your garden grow week 1

The weather has been sunny but cold today but least it is not raining so the whole family bundled out into the garden for the first time this year to see the state of the garden.  We have had high winds like most of the country and one side of our garden all of the fence has come down we have a 70ft long garden so that's a lot of fence panels.  My one mission between changing nappies, chasing rabbits and stopping thing 1 upsetting thing 2 was to trim up the lavenders as they look really unkempt after last years growth.  The fence panel that hold up the fluffy clematis is also coming down so we will need to find out what the neighbors want to do but i suspect a big chop might be on the cards for this plant.

It ha been surprising mild here this year and my roses have been budding and flowering all year long reaching up to catch the winter sunlight.  With it being so mild there are lots of signs of things poking their heads up or refusing to give up for the year it is most strange to see.
