    My minature tulips are in flower...red and yellow stripes.

    First buds seen today on my plum tree.

    And when your back stops aching,
    And your hands begin to harden.
    You will find yourself a partner,
    In the glory of the garden.

      Looks like my mirabelle is about to blossom….I’ll take a photo later .
      Always too soon - we hardly ever get more than a handful of fruit each year. Without the frost there would be hundreds to pick as it’s always heavily smothered in blossom.

        Hyacinths in bloom in the garden, although they're looking more like bluebells now!

          My hyacinths are still in bud.
          I am seeing red on my Japanese quince though.

              My magnolia is bursting into flower on its south facing side.

              Also spotted my first two ladybirds today. Hibernating, but lovely to see.

                  Our first ever wild Early Purple Orchid in our front garden. No flower as yet though. Really exciting as it’s a sign that this area was ancient woodland !

                  Its appeared on its own amongst the other flowers….

                    One of my plum trees is breaking into blossom.
                    I think I’ve only ever had one plum in 12 years …and we have a couple of frosts due after weekend

                      Try covering a middle section with fleece so some of the flowers are protected? I did that once to my pear blossom to protect it,difficult to cover the whole tree but part covering is easy with bamboo sticks,pegs & fleece if it’s going to be frosty. Problem is if the wind would flap the fleece about damaging flowers,it’s really windy here today…

                          Yes, covering all, or part of your plum tree when it is blossoming is a good idea.
                          The last time I did this, a few years ago now, I fell off the ladder.
                          However, the plum tree survivedl

                          And when your back stops aching,
                          And your hands begin to harden.
                          You will find yourself a partner,
