Had a lovely wander round the garden....

some violets


The daffodils on the steep bank are starting to put on a decent show

the new plums are starting to flower

no idea what this tree is, but it’s stunning for 1 week a year!

A seedling in the corner of the veg bed after a couple of years.... need to find it a permanent home

we planted some apricot double daffs behind the pond seat.

the drive bed looks good

but you have to appreciate the beauty of a simple daisy

after 20+ years of trying, we seem to have a good display from the camellia

some Easter margriet daisies brighten up the barrels by the front door

 

The early part of my year is spent wondering whether any of my plants are going to survive the winter. I am pleased to report that not only has everything has survived, everything is doing really well.

Please forgive the messy bits. I hope to get around to tidying up soon. The lighter evenings are a bonus.














I am particularly pleased with the Aubrieta in the front garden. I bought 3 for £5 from B&M and they were sorry looking things.
