    My RTBC today:- From top, Magnolia Stellata, Clematis Armandii, Fritilleries, Cowslip, and a little spring bulbs grouping. Spring is sprung I think!


    @valerieroberts - they all look very healthy, if a little precarious

    Reason To Be Cheerful, @Papi Jo
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    Thanks, @Liriodendron! Pretty obvious in this thread. ;)
    My RTBC of the day: I could mow my lawn for the first time this year!

    OH did his first cut on a rare dry day a couple of weeks ago - itching to play with his new mower - but it was on its highest level and also restricted to the bits near the house as the rest is more meadow-like and is also squelchy.

    My RTBC today is nothing to do with gardening.  I ordered 2 half-price sewing patterns on Monday evening but it didn't go thru cos the bank was doing maintenance.  Completed the order today and got a further 20% discount.   Good.

    Outing this sunny afternoon to the council nursery with a couple of the other volunteers to choose plants for the park.  We chose sedge and ferns which are going to be delivered on Monday.  Then we had a rummage in their skip and salvaged some ferns and dahlia tubers which had been discarded because they didn't know what colour they are.  I've potted up the ferns and left the tubers in water, I'll pot them up tomorrow.

    That's a good day's work @josusa47, you must be rather pleased. I'm debating whether or not to pop up to Hilliers tomorrow - they have £5 off the very good Kneelo's  (memory foam kneeling pads) and I could do with more bagged manure for my roses.
