I’ve just been for a walk around my garden I was planning a working morning but got sidetracked for a while
Forsythai intermedia ‘Spectabilis’
Prunus incisa ‘Kojo-no-mai’ pretty delicate-looking deciduous shrub with wiry twigs that burst into life in late winter and early spring when the crimson buds open to display pale pink flowers. The young leaves are long and pale green, growing darker, It’s one of my favourites.
Snake’s head fritillary
Primrose
Pulmonaria ‘Mary and Joseph’
Magnolia’Sulangiana’ fighting it’s way through Escallonia in the long border.
Gazania doing well!
Carrot growing in drain pipe
Nasturtium ready to pot on.
Lots happening in my garden now I must do some work!

Thanks everyone for your lovely comments. I love this time of year I get all excited. I've had a great day out in the garden got loads done. Just wish my veg order would hurry up and arrive I think I must be getting impatient or something. The carrots are OH idea he handed me the pipe while we were shopping at B&Q the other week....I got a really strange look from him and he said carrots!

A wonderful blogSue We had rain today with gales but there was a red sky when i came back from the shops at 6.30pm so I have my fingers crossed that I can actually get out and do some work tomorrow. Our forsythia have a way to go yet but like everything else this year you just have to blink and something else is right there.

Well there's lots springing to life in your garden now ... the forsythia is just so beautiful as well as those prunus blooms and the primroses. Love the idea for growing the carrots ... brilliant man! I wish my seedlings looked something like yours ... not to be! Those gazanias are doing so well ... one of my favourite garden plants! Well keep on enjoying your springtime!
