Thank you both! They're just a bit of colour to fill in that bed until the rhubarb and the much neglected Japanese maple tree establish in the bed.

Churchyard close by, and the semi-wild 'Turrets' front garden, with a mock-orange in the middle, still wondering if it's a shrub or a tree... (Any tips on how to tackle it would be appreciated)!

It's been just a fabulous year for daffs and now primroses, for some reason!

Gorgeous, Snows!

It never occurred to me to plant daffs on 'The Patch' - it'd would have saved us hundreds as I buy three bunches for the house every week around now...;0)

Thanks Mr G, I’ve picked no end all ready & given numerous bunches away & it’s so lovely to see the bee bums sticking out, a few on the plots have asked what are they for or what on earth do you do with them all!

We've had this one for years, but it has been too shaded to bloom well until recently. It's improving.

That’s lovely, is it an azalea? Can’t quite make it out

My olive tree with pot mates - Anemone White Splendour that I did plant, plus some Scilla and an Aquilea that seeded in themselves.

How old is your olive tree, News?

I was given an identical one several years ago, and it has roughly the same shape, but doesn't get any bigger!

Like your display - early spring colours are just fantastic around now!

7 or 8 years old I think.  It was quite a small tree that I bought in Homebase when they had an offer on.  It was under a tenner. 

It does not get much in the way of special treatment.  Top dressed and fed with chicken manure pellets each spring, then a weekly feed with whatever I am feeding the other pots and containers with over the growing season  :)
