..of a full spring day in the garden. (Currently about one day in ten!)
I spent much of it checking that my favourite plants had survived.
I thought I might have lost the bronze leaved celandine Brazen Hussy when we dug the trench for the hedge, but not only did it survive but there is lots of it. Like many plants at this time of year it does its thing then disappears quietly, disturbing nothing.
My favoutie hardy geranium Ann Folkard is planted throughout the garden and I was relieved to see it's distinctive lime green foliage showing in all but one place where I expecred it - thugh it may show yet
Primroses also come and go, surprising me under hedges and in odd corners. Lovely - to pick for tiny glass bottles beside the bed or on the breakfast table.
The wild cuckoo flower, cardamine pratensis appears in odd places too, varying in amount from year to year. No cuckoos yet though. Have they arrived where you are?
