Rotten day here for those returning to work Duck pond outside the kitchen already and dark as night and pouring steadily. Yes I do like your forsythia. Always looks like it is sunny when in bloom I think. I have several that bloom at different times and have different shades of yellow flowers. Myy sweet peas and cosmos have gerninated which I sowed last week so that cheered me up when I saw how wet the garden was. I can sow some more seeds at least today.
It has been very wet through the night but dry now and just showers forecast for today. There is a very pretty miniature daffodil flowering for my friend and he has pink trumpets following on some late flowering ones.

Weather here as been heavy rain but glorious sunshine now and it's still light : ), my plants have survived the bad weather thank goodness, hope you have a nice day tomorrow Marion : )
White grass frost this morning and only 1 degree still but very bright sunshine so should soon warm up as 11 degrees forecast and UV 4. There will be strains of "Wunderbar" and "Brush up your Shakespeare" coming from my potager this morning after the lovely evening I had at the Redgrave Theatre last night for a splendid performance of "Kiss me Kate". Huge cast, splendid singing and dancing and the costumes for the Shakespearean scenes were superb. Just the thing to put a song and dance into the work needing done , No doubt the birds will join in.
TY Marygold. I found a pot of pink chionodoxa in among my pots of bulbs yesterday which was a surprise so took my camera out to snap them. They came out blue against the white flowers so brought them in to a black background to show their pretty colour. Container gardening proves useful when you also add photography to your gardening hobby.
Oh such glorious weather for gardening. Mindful of the many admonishments by mt friends not to overdo it I have rationed myself to four hourly sessions at intervals through the day. It is the Rule of Four day today as I have four sitooteries (patios) which I want to get tidied up before my first open day in May. I have started on the one outside my potting shed (back of garage) So far -

niature daffodil is called Pencrebar.
Just heard the final total for the Botanic Garden plant sale at the weekend was £1241.56. A bit more than last year despite the off putting weather.
I like your friends daffodil, lovely.

Great news re plant sale, Marion. Worth the effort I imagine!
Pencrebar is a very pretty daffodil - I must look out for it.
Wow! That was a great total Marion especially considering the weather.
