    Marion, we will be calling you Hyacinth Bouquet shortly! You have had pots of them in all colours. Beautiful.

    Do you plant new outdoor ones every year in the pots? I have had some in the ground for a few years but they are diminishing.

    Your "friend with the small garden" has beautiful window boxes with the tulips ready to join the hyacinths.

    Yes I buy new bulbs each year from Bloms Bulbs whom I find have the biggest bulbs.  Then i plant them out in the garden when I need the pots for summer bedding, so I have lots more coming into flower now in the borders.  The ones for early indoor flowering I had are almost ready to come out of their pots and be planted in the garden too.  I am a bit of a hyacinth freak

    Yes GWRS, icy here too despite the brilliant sunshine.  I needed my gardening coat this morning and will don it again soon to go and plant some 2nd early potatoes.  Onion planting next as i have just had an email to say they are on their way.

    Rain has stopped at last so I went out for a breath of fresh air in my garden and took some pictures.

    Lovely drippy flowers Marion... hoping the rain will stop soon, and I'll be able to have a look for treasures in my own garden.  Last week I found this:

    - it's a Soldanella, but I can't now remember which one - planted 5 or 6 years ago, and this is its first flower.  image

    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
