Meantime I am enjoying the scent of tiny narcissus in vases in the house, and have you noticed that primroses have a light, sweet smell? Try a few in a small glass on the bedside table. I'm anticipating the perfume of the honeysuckle which is looking promising all along the fence, and of the sweet peas starting to climb the wigwam, and of the night scented annual stock which I will sow tomorrow. Scent is a wonderful sensual pleasure in a garden.
Now, how could I get to that tree....
