What's looking good MARCH 2024

Hi and welcome. Where are you headed? Today in Central we were 24,5c.

 

Love everyone photos!!

I should have got photos as it was a gorgeous day today, but I didn't..
The grape hyacinths are starting to flower in the sunny patch - I dig them up every year and throw them at any patch of soil, where they take root and grow even under a shady bush, so they all bloom at different times.
Tulips are about to pop. Daffs are still looking good. I put English bluebells in last year, they're about 2" tall now, I can't wait!
The strawberry I planted in a fairly shady border last year, threw off a runner into the shade - that flowered in December(!) and is budding again!
Cherry tree has just started to break leaf.
Hoorayyy spring (and random flowering!!)

 

That's magnificent!!

 

Vilamoura. That's perfect. Better get my summer gear out of storage...

 

Got a break in the rain today for the first time in a while so made a video clip showing most of what is flowering in the garden here for March.

Happy gardening!

 

My first Geum of the year has emerged today, G. Scarlet Tempest.

A little sunshine yesterday and today has ignited this into life..

The star performer in my spring garden

 

I love fritillaries and I’m always happy to see them return in the spring.

 

@pitter-patter Do you have much trouble with lily beetles? I bought a tub of fritillaries years ago but those damned things showed up so I didn't bother again. I was thinking of buying some bulbs for next spring but I can't be doing with those red devils.

 

First tulips, and few other things

​

 

@Februarysgirl I don’t have lots of lily beetles, though last year I have started growing lilies, so I might be attracting some more. Hopefully not so early in the season, though.

 

This gorgeous little beauty (Minnow) is just emerging in my wife's pots.





The Ribes buds are finally breaking after hanging there all colourful for several weeks





And the miniature Cherry that some friends gave us 25 years ago is absolutely covered in flowers

 

I’m really enjoying all the garden pics. I love the fritillaries @pitter-patter , I came across some here a couple of days ago and took a photo but don’t know how to post it as I use an iPad

edit to say that I think I managed to work it out..
