With the weather warming up here my garden has been coming to life, over a couple of days last week I took the photos below. Since then the weather has been even better, this week has felt almost like summer, however for next week the forecasters are saying it will be much colder with wintry showers – I really hope that doesn’t mean snow!

Since taking the photos I’ve been out doing some weeding and general clearing up after the winter, and more things are in bloom now. There have been an amazing amount of really big fat bumble bees around so I hope that the predicted bad weather for next week won’t be too bad for them!
How pretty! I always enjoy your garden posts. I saw my first crocus of the year this week but now we are supposed to get snow tonight so who knows.
Jennifer,
Oh no. Our snowdrops don’t mind being buried under snow for ages but I suspect that crocuses won’t fare so well!
It really is miraculous! I have one blooming daffodil but some tulip stalks have begun to appear. Hail is in the forecast – I always want to apologize to my timid plants when they come up too soon and get bombarded by bad weather!
Constance,
For the last two years my apple blossom has been blasted by frost so we had no apples at all, it’s more than annoying! My tulips are looking good and strong, but so far just one bloom which could be a good thing if we get snow next week!
I’m so jealous of your garden, we still have snow and ice in Minnesota!
Christine,
It’s much warmer here than normal at the moment – but apparently we might get snow later on in the week. I hope the apple blossom survives!
The flowers are beautiful and the garden looks very enticing. Everything in my yard looks pretty bad, lots of weeds, although there are some nice blooming pelargoniums in the front area.
tracybham,
As we back on to land which is uncultivated we have just about every weed known in Scotland bursting to get in here, and they succeed! They seem to keep growing throughout the winter too. It’ll be a few months before pelargoniums can be safely put outside here.
You have so much in bloom in your garden. It’s lovely!
Joan,
It’s looking even better now with the fruit blossom beginning to open, but with frost forecast I fear for it!
