Six-on-Saturday 03-04-2021

Rather a crazy week weatherwise. Shorts and t-shirts at the start, thick trousers and woolly jumpers now. I have put the covers back on the bay trees and brought in the courgette and squash seeds to keep them warm. Just been for a walk and the magnolias, cherry blossom, blackthorn and, of course, forsythia are looking magnificent. The daffodils here are on their way out as suddenly as they started.

Meanwhile,GGHI and I had our second jabs this week, lucky us.

Anyway, here are this week’s Six-on-Saturday.

1)

A pretty tub of violas I was given for Mother’s day last month.

2)

This is such a nice change from the yellow daffodils. The first photo is behind the dustbin where it isn’t supposed to be and the second, not as big a plant, is where it is supposed to be.

3)

I know I said the daffodils were over, but a few of the more unusual ones are a little behind.

4)

The persicaria is showing through ready for the next frost.🌬 Last year it bounced back and put on a good show eventually.

5)

I thought these were Christmas cacti. 🤔

6)

Photo 1: The jackmanii has suddenly gone berserk,

Photo 2: A present from my son and daughter-in-law.

Photo 3: Was I complaining about my £1.69 clematis recently? Surely not. (I had weeded this area and picked up the stones recently, by the way.)

That’s it…..well, almost.

The first tulip! I don’t recognise it and I don’t remember putting it there. Maybe whoever put the hyacinths in the front garden did it.

….a mystery. 🤔

Have a good weekend in your garden.
