Spring has sprung!

[Imurg]

Apparently, the Azaleas are already blooming at Augusta and will have gone over by The Masters...
Definitely getting warmer although I heard it might get icy again in a few weeks..
Just needs to stop raining for a while..

Here are some "before and after" shots of the bottom of our garden!!............


Trouble is, with all the rain we have had lately it's like a quagmire out there.
Hopefully going to build our new barbecue this weekend.
Will sit just in front of the shed, but not close enough to set it alight!

Magnolias are nearly out here. That's always a good Spring omen for me. Had our first rhubarb crumble with rhubarb from the allotment at the weekend. Not forced either. Having moved from Lancaster in August the earliness of this is astounding.

That bit normally happens a couple of days later with rhubarb for me....

Camellias and small azaleas are in flower, they are such fanastic flowers. Along with daffs just starting, snowdrops just finishing and crocus, viburnum, primroses, early plum just starting flowering in the garden, tis a good month, slowly watching the plants waking up again and the perennials starting to grow(typically a little later here as we are in a cold inland district).

Think its great when the new vigorous growth really starts coming though in April/May time and most important the longer days to spend more time outside.

a photo of gorse and on of a cherry tree blossom, for who ever asked.

 

[Golfmmad]

T'was me! Thanks, but I see you had a bit of wind that blew most of the lovely blossom away. Always gets windy when the blossom shows! :angry:

Light enough at 6.30 to be out and playing. Happy times

not really its all like that, just the tips of the branches on the cherry. Been like that since December.

As for the gorse on the course, when i first noticed it it was just a couple of them that had flowered, yesterday there were quite a few with flowers on. they don't usually all bloom till end April/May.

Bluebells are just green shoots at the moment, when we first got the house the whole of the front garden boundary was covered in them, but I've dug a fair bit of them out as when they die they leave a horrible slimy mess
