      If we do, I'll try and remember. :)

      Maybe we should have a thread headed "Did I promise plants or seeds?"

      I always have this nagging thought in the back ground that I said that if I I'd dig things up, I'll save them for people - and rarely remember who, or what!

      Members could then put reminders on it telling you what you promised.

        @nFrost Our garden is doing quite well now since we've had the warmer weather. We tend to be a bit slow to get going as we're exposed to cold winds off the fields around us but the warmer spells give us a good start. I'll have to go out and take some piccies.

        I'm particularly pleased with the Saphora that's trying to make everything else look dull!

          The Dicentra have pushed well up, geraniums looking good. a sedum that is full of vigor. Last years seed sown perennials filling the 3" pots, they should have been potted up, but other things over took me, still they will fill out once planted up.

          Seedlings coming on good esp. the Cosmos !

          I'll see if I can get some piccies up over the next few days, I know how you all like the piccies lol.

                          I've taken a few shots now.

                          In the undergrowth
                          P1200057.jpg

                          One of the driveway borders. It's always full of spring colour

                          P1200062.jpg

                          Katsura is always magnificent at this time of year. The contrasting colours fade during the summer
                          P1200069.jpg

                          Chelsea jacket is doing well after a hard pruning in the winter
                          P1200070.jpg

                          And the Saphora is continuing to open even more flowers. As it's the first time it has done so well I keep telling it that it's the star of the garden. There are a lot more buds coming
