                        Right! I've read all five wonderful pages and now have to find time to upload my photos taken during the month. :phew:

                        Sorry that the first lot will seem out of season as they will be early in the month. :noidea:

                        Rhubarb did well and fairly early but the lack of rain has slowed it down (today is the first rain for about two months and it's only a drizzle). Managed to sell 60lb of it for charity :blue thumb:

                            We have a lot of cowslips, primroses and primulas in the flower beds and then much more scattered through our wild area.
