The garden is starting to show a bit of colour and when the sun shines it certainly warms the heart. One of my spring favourites are the fruit tree blossoms which are just beginning. The plum blossom has a particular delicate, sweet smell which I wish I could share.

The lollipop primula where a gift from my sister a couple of years ago. The daffodils are nearly over but the pale ones are still looking good. The pansies are the first pansies I have successfully grown from seed!

Of course there are wildflowers too. Though the wood sorrel is currently growing in a pot where it seeded itself. I love daisies and of course dandelions are great for early pollinators.

Definitely ‘Spring’-ing in your garden! Love how you caught the bee buzzing over the June-berry blossom. 🙂

This makes me dream of a house of my own. They are all lovely photo’s but I have a favourite and that is the tiny wood sorrel. They are so pretty.

They are pretty and I love the contrast of the white against the very green leaves.

Yep, fortunately the sun is making itself a little more familiar! Your blossoms are looking great!
Spotted my first butterfly at home (Kildare) yesterday. Peacock, must have eventually woken from hibernation. However, we went down Arklow way on Wednesday. I spotted the following on a few walks. Comma, yep, Comma, Small Tortoiseshell, Peacock, GV White and Small White. I think I saw a Painted Lady as well but it didn’t sit long enough for a photo! The fun begins! 😉

Wish I had room for trees! Other than the willow…oops. But the bees love it, too.

Willows are a really important early food source for bees so great to have!

It’s barely budding now, sure is taking its sweet time! I feel bad that I don’t have much right now for the few bees I’ve seen. But now I hear it is going to be bitter cold tonight. Urgh, no!

I know – and cold over weekend as well. I think the last couple of days were just to show us what we are missing!!

I got Wednesday’s sunshine at least – had to take my old cat to the vet, and then we took the rest of the day off. Hit too many garden places 🙂
You’ll laugh, I hope, at this – was just thinking about you as I covered my avocado plant with a glass cloche for the night! It was one we ate, put in the compost bin, and when turning it I found it was growing. So I stuck it in a raised bed for the heck of it, covered it in glass for the winter…and it is growing well again! So silly and rather pointless, but I can’t bear to stop anything that wants to grow.

It’s funny – the best place to get avocados growing is the compost heap – we have found that too!!

I’ve never gotten one to get more than a foot tall before they die, though. Poor things, they try so hard!
