I am looking forward to the warmer weather (and lighter nights) so I can enjoy being in my garden. I am looking forward to seeing all the seeds that I have planted in bloom.
I'm looking forward to all the new planting from last year developing and filling out - and finding out if I planted the right things in the right places!
I'm also going to have a go at growing a dahlia for the first time - trying to choose one from the thousands available.
Picking dahlias isn't easy is it!

I'm looking forward to growing a load of plants from seed to fill the big empty beds! I don't know if I have enough pots or space to do it but it'll be fun to find out!
@Loxley you're not wrong! I have spent many hours zombie-like overwhelmed by the choice. I am leaning towards one of the Happy Single ones - but I am dithering so long, they will probably be sold out by the time I have decided...
I am *so* excited about the newly planted group of three Thalictrum delavayi 'Album'. I was worried they would be razed by slugs, but, not at all. Perhaps because it has been a very dry March and April in London, it doesn't seem to be shaping up here to be a bad slug year.
Also new-to-me is dahlia Mexian Star, three out four pots are shooting happily in the kitchen.
At the moment I'm excited about new things daily, sometimes multiple things! Buds and shoots and new leaves My sister bought me two Daphne 'Eternal Fragrance' plants for Christmas and I.potted them up in their permanent homes a couple of weeks ago - some new growth and lots of flower buds already, I think they might open tomorrow and am beside myself...

I'm most looking forward to my new border planting along on the east-facing edge of the pebble-paved pathway in my side garden. I hope it likes our moderately alkaline soil and blooms well, else I'll have to acidify the soil a bit with flower/rose food.
