The bulbs have put on something of a spurt in the past week, though we've yet to see colour. My framer's garden, par contre, was full of naturalised snowdrops yesterday when I called, and some crocuses, doubtless better established than ours, were showing colour. It shocked us rather to find how few bulbs there were in the garden when we came here - a few spavined daffodils, and damn' all else. But then, there wasn't really a flower bed anywhere in the garden. How things have changed.
Window ledges are in short supply. In the past few days we've sown rudbeckia (with seed saved from three colours last autumn, plus one bought packet), bidens, petunia, penstemon, gerbera (more in hope than in expectation of success), achillea, lobelia and antirrhinum (aka, according to the late Vic's late Mum, anti-geraniums. I like the sentiment). More to follow once the conservatory is warmer more regularly.
