Like most children I grew a sycamore tree from the aeroplane seeds of the tree - they used to seed all over our old garden. My sister and brother's sycamore saplings are now mature trees, mine was "removed" when we moved - never to be seen again.
The seeds can be a nuisance but as you have said Joyce, the mower makes short work of them.
Garden is absolutely sodden, any parts of the lawn I walk on are just mud, infact Soft Rush [Juncus] has appeared in my front lawn, rain levels this spring are worst I have ever known. Ony gardening done this winter have been pruning fruit bushes.
Very sunny here too GWRS, luckily no icy wind - it is a glorious day. Sowed my first Cherry tomato seeds free from GW last month. Just 8 seeds so far, more next week or two.
My first cucumber seedlings are pushing through - Burpless and Bolt Hardy, both new varieties for me to try.
Deadheaded even more daffodils, and some other varieties are just opening up. Two tulips in flower already.
Went back outside and dead headed Hydranger , potoato sack done for the green house and few other bits , done in now , cup of tea then help with dinner
Watered all the pots and troughs and trays we brought from our Belgian garden and then I've spent 2 hours going round on the mower taming grass that has been untended for over 3 years except for when the farmer next door came with a real tractor and mowed it like hay for the estate agent's photos and 2 sheep since then. Very lumpy and bumpy and full of weeds and bits of old tree stump and root. Getting easier tho.
Perishing cold now as the wind is getting up and bringing tomorrow's storms and clouds with it.
Sorry for all those snow bound or rain sodden. Hope it passes soon.

Planted a redcurrant bush, it's very good and long roots on it.

It was bright and breezy here, I had duvets laundered and out on the line this morning (not just the covers)
Gardening

I bought a mini greenhouse
Weather was grim first thing but all melted by midday
