Smashing colours @pitter-patter and beautiful cherry blossom @Athelas, everything slowly moving on in spite of the frosts (not this morning for me!)...
More pondside pictures, it's more Spring concentrated than I realised. Water level already dropping and I have frogpoles again this year. Marsh Marigold stems folded in half with the frosts but have bent back up again which I'm pleased about, I love MM's.
The Cardamine pratensis sowed and arranged themselves along the shady bank.
Absolutely love the pink tulips @Camelliad and I think I have those exact same daffodils, first time this year and I adore them. My Daphne is well and truly over here, in fact needs some Epsom Salts I believe, but the scent was memorable.
The garden is moving on at pace here now after a few really hot days, honeysuckle and Rhododendrons coming out now.

I've seen some bulb baskets, but although they make bulbs easy to find/lift I don't think they'd help with the mice problem.
My Anemones have all come back this year,with a lot of babies. Well worth planting.😊
Daphne still having her moment in the sun. Smells amazing.
My melianthus major is staging a comeback after having been razed to the ground by the frosts. Come on Melly !!!
