I thought Shiney had been on a day trip to Wisley when I first saw a batch of his photos.

Some members didn't believe me when I said our ground was so dry it was cracking up. We have had difficulty just digging and hoeing the surface.

The primrose family spread all over our garden like weeds and we only dig some out when we need the space. I dug out about a dozen when making space for sweetpeas but they all go to good homes for a donation to our charity. The ones in the wild area are only just coming through as they have to fight the grass and other 'weeds'.

None of these were planted by us

They're now spreading over the Irises

Part of the front garden

Quite a few people come round to pick their lucky heather

And the bees love it

Starting on the back garden - but haven't taken many photos

Our second smallest bed - outside my office window and opposite where there are usually four or five birds' nests in the ivy

Part of the fern bed

Getting some orders ready for sale

These are in a pot on the patio, only sown this year. Each flower head is under half an inch wide

The tree fern frond has not only opened since replanting it and feeding it, it gets a second frond.

Glorious sunshine today.

That tree fern looks bursting with health, @simone_in_wiltshire, and your neighbour’s cherry blossom is well ahead of mine.

The cherry tree needs another week until all buds have opened. As I said, this is happening this year in April.

I think you will find different cherry varieties have slightly different flowering times.
