Meanwhile, some photos from my garden this weekend. Spring has been a long time coming, and now I can’t bear to be indoors. Every minute is spent in the garden!

Potting shed window. Scented jonquils and forget me nots.
Pheasant’s Eye narcissi.
Possibly Narcissi Geranium. Wonderful scent. Reliable grower. Always comes back every year and naturalises in long grass.

Tulip Mondial. A lovely double white with green markings. Long lasting flower. Stands up to the weather. Copes with the rain.

Some tiny species tulips growing in an Italian pot. Part of a mixed cut flower collection from Gee Tee Bulbs. Species bulbs will always come back the following year. Bulbs do not have to grow to such a huge size as the Dutch bulbs to re-flower the next year.

A hybrid ‘cowslip.’ A bee has passed pollen from my red primroses to a yellow wild cowslip- and the resulting seedling is this little beauty. Isn’t nature wonderful!

Thank you for reading my blog. Look back for more book reviews and giveaways next week. Have a great Sunday!

    • Thank you Noelle. Me too. Although I did have a visitor who turned her nose up at them and said they were crossbreeds! Hm. Not inviting that person again. 😆

    • Thank you Jean! Thankfully it is now. What an awful wet time we’ve had! Finally the father has just sown oats in the back field. I love oats. Such a beautiful golden colour at harvest time. Thanks as ever for reading my blog. It’s much appreciated.
