Another lovely sunny day, and I took my camera for a walk around the garden to look for signs of new life. The sunlight on the rhubarb made some interesting textures when taken as a close-up. The buds and beginnings of new leaves on the quince tree are particularly appealing. The two little pierises are doing well, one is flowering and there is new growth which looks like it will turn red very shortly. And the rocket has germinated despite the cold nights, which is very satisfactory.
The two dwarf Buddleias which I had on order (special offer from Thompson and Morgan in one of the gardening mags) arrived a couple of days ago, and I have potted them up into a pair of sludge-green glazed pots about 35cm across. They are quite big already, and look like they will flower later this year, which will be good for bees and butterflies!
