Looking really good @JWK. If you would want some Aconites and Snowdrops for the area get in touch. Are you going to move some of your lovely Hellebores into the area?, the seedlings you sent me are flowering. All different. 1 white , lots of pink and 1 very dark and all doubles yea. I now have quite a collection. Maybe you consider the Hellebores Snowdrops etc as winter? I can spare you a "few" Snowdrops and Aconites see below! I have sold about 20,000 double Snowdrops on the likes of Ebay and yet you wouldn't know it, I seem to have just as many!

Oh wow, it is gorgeous! You must be so proud! A lot of hard graft there, learning trades as well, fantastic! Love your flint wall, how the palms have grown and that bursting bed at the front

Thanks @silu, very kind to offer but I have loads of snowdrops in another part of the garden and some aconites. That's amazing you have sold so many snowdrops on ebay!

My seedling hellebores are also doing well, I'm glad yours are - again I have these in another place.

The idea of my Spring garden is that once all the spring bulbs have finished the Sagina (Irish Moss) takes over (it's not grass in those photos). Sagina has a mass of tiny white flowers over the summer.

Oh I didn't realise it was moss @JWK and thought you might need some extra things to fill up the spaces. Hope to see photos of the moss flowering later in the season, sounds a great idea. I did think it was going to be a complete b to mow the middle tear drop shaped bit...I should have known you are much smarter than to give yourself a headache!

Not sure about that as last year I was spending hours hand weeding the moss, but hopefully this year now the gaps are filled in there will be no room for weeds.

Your actually growing Sagina John.
I think the stuff is a nightmare, it just takes over everything, at least that is what I think I have, which seeds itself into every pot I have in the garden.

I'd put it right up there with bitter cress.
