Self sown primrose in an Apple tree. Inherited tree from previuos owner, it has grown from a pip so I am not bothered about it from a fruit point of view, prefer its "picturesque" value.
Beautiful. I love native primroses. Much better than the fancy coloured polyanthus. Wildflowers like this primrose don't need much feed and, indeed, don't do well in cultivated, improved soil. Round here we have elderflower bushes and brambles growing in dust gathered by the shortened stems of pollarded willows.
Depending on their origins, garden plants and veggies need a lot more TLC to grow well which is why we invest so much time on improving drainage, moisture retention, alkalinity or acidity, nutrient levels, mulches, composting..........

Plants are hard arent they Invicta, probably hasn't any soil, just hanging onto life, which is why I don't fuss around too much with bought feeds.
