Palustris
Did me good to see your flowers, especially as it was too wet to get to the allotment today. My hellebores are on their way and on my last visit was very pleased to see the bluebells I planted last year growing well so won't be long now.

Thanks for the pics Palustris. It felt like spring here yesterday but suspect it's a false promise. We haven't had any winter yet.

I thought my snowdrops were out, but it was a white plastic bag!

Daffs just pushing through the soil, and buds on the fuschia and honeysuckle!

Daff shoots about three inches, buds on honeysuckle, crocus leaves well through, no sign of snowdrops, buds on forsythia and kerria, crazy weather. Only one week of hard frost so far, and no snow.

Only 3 mild frosts here so far, bluebells now 3" tall, lawn needs mowing at home, rhubarb is growing nicely, onion sets are now up to 14" tall and garlic 6" on the plot, and some of the bushes in the garden have buds that look ready to flower! (Sorry, dont know the variety, they were here when we moved in!)
