Just to get this month started

A few quick photos whilst bees are buzzing like mad and flying everywhere whilst making the most of the sunny day.

Some more but not really in focus

Part of the rhubarb patch

This was full of purple sage that we planted 45 years ago and have been digging it out over the winter. There are cuttings waiting to go in.

Our Cyclamen bed that is gradually being overrun by Hellebores and Snowdrops but they will be flowering OK later

50 years ago we removed the pond that used to be where these conifers are now

Lovely photos @shiney. I particularly like the one of the Hamamelis. Spring has definitely sprung in your garden .

Thanks @Plantminded

Our yellow Hamamelis has been in full flower since January but that one is only just starting to show in the lovely sunshine.

Ivy may present some difficulties colonisation-wise, but you can’t fault its leaves for interest.

@NigelJ we are the same with the blandas. Only planted blue but we are getting more whites coming through. Like them both. The narcissi are brilliant but our daffs aren't. So many of them are blind this year.

I've also got various shades of blue a few are grey blue.
Quite a number of my snowdrops are blind and might get severely dealt with.

Quite a lot of our daffs look like they will be blind this year, we had higher numbers of blind ones last year as well. I’m wondering if it’s the weather patterns we’re experiencing?

I tried growing snowdrops in a small mug sized pot, they’ve done well. So do snowdrops not do well in pots?

It would be my prime suspect.
