Ranunculus ficaria 'brazen hussy'

I was just thinking that's a brave Hoverfly . . let's hope he has somewhere sheltered to get back to. Great sign of Spring.

Butterfly fluttering around my garden today... :o)))

I have yet to see my first bee....not long now though!

We had a whopper in the garden going through the snowdrops today, massive bee. Hope he has got back home safely. It has been a beautiful day and I am cream crackered, bet you can guess why!!

lol....I can't imagine!

Oh yes you can you horror, needless to say the borders are all spick and span. x

I can't do anything this year. What with all the bark mulch. All I can do is wait and try not to tread on the emerging plants too much.....tricky! It is a real exercise in patience! Anything I buy now has to go in a pot. Mind you, I did dig out a wee bit more turf last week in order to plant a Viburnum Tinus under the Cercis tree! Result...planting opportunities for small plants....hence purchases at SRGC early bulb show last saturday! lol. Next job is pond, but I really need Cal's help for that. I suppose I'll have to bribe him with money....AGAIN!! :)) btw, he has been taken on for the summer at a wilderness camp in Colorado! What a boy!

Tell him to stay clear of the hatchets then. lol. hope he has fun.

hmmmm....lets hope they are a little more safety conscious in the US of A! :))

They will be, hope he has a great time, when does he go?

Erm, June I think, until August. It's good really as it means he can't afford to fail any exams this term! lol x

Your Brazen Hussy is early, ours not out yet......we have some huge bumblebees around at the moment.

Think he will have learned from his past experiences. well hopefully he has, but he is a boy. lol.

DD, not really as I only bought it last saturday and it was already flowering in it's pot, so it's probably been grown in a tunnel.

Too right Mum! :)

OH good, thought I had lost another plant then....phew!!
