MAGNOLIA

can see another bud there ready to open

yeah it's opened already - might get to be an accomplished gardener this year LOL - do you like my gooseberry bush in the back ground

yep, the goseberry bush looks really healthy, the hard winter seems to have done the fruit no harm at all, all mine are full of new growth

think I'm going to turn this area into a "fruity" patch once known as a rockery - off to lidle to get some rasperries and co

good idea Angie, ive just got a few fruit bushes here, gooseberries, raspberries, balckberries and strawberries
