    Lots of nice pictures. The silver birch is looking splendid.

      "IT'S ALIVE"

      I bought a 6 pack of lavender last summer. I potted them up and placed them in the spot where they would get the most sun. By the autumn, one of them had died and the rest were alive but showing no signs of growth. I repotted them and put them back in the same place. Today I noticed signs of growth for the first time. Ideally I would like those pots to be full before I consider planting them out. As I don't actually have anywhere to plant them right now, that shouldn't be a problem.

              My osteospermum from last year is very green. Does that mean it's coming back?

                  That's good then. I thought it was an annual. I have them in hanging baskets. That will save me some money.

                  :)

                    Not much to show yet but things are coming on.

                    Jet fire daffs with rescued viola cost a few penny's, they are better than the viola I payed full wack for. Still some more daffs and tulips to flower in this barrel.

                    Pulmonaria Milky way , I prefer it more than ensign which is in the back ground.
