          Had a lovely wander round the garden....

          some violets

          The daffodils on the steep bank are starting to put on a decent show 992AEDCE-4626-4F36-983F-6ADAB3097490.jpeg

          the new plums are starting to flower D458286C-8426-487A-A812-4F1415586191.jpeg

          no idea what this tree is, but it’s stunning for 1 week a year! 70BC975A-6720-477C-8F46-650551E77D10.jpeg

          A seedling in the corner of the veg bed after a couple of years.... need to find it a permanent home 413E47CA-D626-439D-8609-6A361AA33B0D.jpeg

          we planted some apricot double daffs behind the pond seat. 9B376402-3023-459B-938A-20CAB9596932.jpeg

          the drive bed looks good 07121DD6-48F5-4C61-BEFA-540DDB18E65F.jpeg

          but you have to appreciate the beauty of a simple daisy 9078CAEC-1053-423F-95E9-58DBA49E34A1.jpeg

          after 20+ years of trying, we seem to have a good display from the camellia FB0B1D0F-DAAF-4645-974B-009AB5D55767.jpeg

          some Easter margriet daisies brighten up the barrels by the front door 2DF048DB-F4E8-4873-8105-FA5B60B07B09.jpeg

            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.
