went into the conservatory to water my seedlings I was delighted to see the first buds opening on my peach tree. Last year was its first with me and i hand pollinated it with my sable paintbrush. Of the resultant 22 peaches 21 dropped off when the size of gooseberries but the one left was a peach of a peach - see picture. This year i will be sure to check on the watering and hope for more peaches. I still remember how delicious it was.
They do, Chicky. Next big display will be St. George's day and then Easter. The colour theme is Gold of course this year set off by blues and purples. I sent these p
ictures to my sister in Canada and just to make sure I knew how lucky I was she sent me pictures of her front garden and those in her street in New Brunswick,
I'm still very envious of those bergenias, Marian - my manky ones probably need resiting, though I'm not sure I have the right place for them. The dark leaved ones are growing healthily but don't seem to flower.

So wet in Bristol today i think the kitchen door will be as far as I go with my camera. i do hope I
get some dry daylight hours before Si. David's Day tomorrow so I can put out a lovely display of daffodils on the front doorstep.
Happy St. David's Day from the daffodils in my Golden Jubilee Garden and from me.
Your Bergenias are magnificent Marion. Jealous!
Yes, They are wearing their age well those bergenias. They were old fifty years ago!
Marion - just love the arrangement by your front door - looks so welcoming
. Do the pots get replaced by other flowers through the year?
