We have smell in the garden but haven't worked out what it's from as several plants are in direct sunshine.

[Elizabethrose]

We had an Osmanthus Burkwoodii years ago CLKD. The flowers were so tiny they could be overlooked but the fragrance was all enveloping. The postman would walk up the path desperately searching for the source of the fragrance.

In that area is a Winter flowering honeysuckle which the bees love as well as a form of 'Daphne' and a sweet box ....... take your pick 

[dazned]

My trays of down seeds are sprouting ! 

Seemed a good idea at the time ,forgot about all that picking out though !

Sown seeds .....predictive b.....ks

I have godetia,nemesisia,stocks,marigold,sweetpeas,sunflowers

[Elizabethrose]

Dazned what are downs seeds? Are they seeds you collected from the downs?

[Hurdity]

Little teeny tiny red pimples on my new roses - showing that they are still alive and producing little buds. Hopefully they will burst forth soon

My husband planted all the broad bean plants  (that I grew from seed) as well as the onion sets and shallots. I repotted some of my tomato plants, chillis and aubergines. Carrying backwards and forwards each day from greenhouse (by day) to house (at night) until the nights are a bit warmer and I can plant them in there. I have 33 tomato plants this year including 3 heritage varieties!! Some will go outside in a few weeks...

I have blossom!!   I'm so pleased.  None on either of the apple trees though and leaves are out now.  Cherry, plum and pear have at last blossomed so you were right ladies - I was too impatient.

Don't give up on the apples, some trees put out leaves B4 blossom ..........

[ariadne]

I hope my two are of that variety then CLKD 😊  I do like apple blossom. One is white with pale pink and the other is a deep pink and I was so looking forward to seeing them😕.

Still, I have 4 trees with white blossom when I thought I had none so chuffed anyhow.

I thought of you when I looked at our apple blossom this morning 

[ariadne]

Well guess what?  What I thought were budding leaves on both apple trees, have begun to show signs of PINK 🤗🤗🤗.  i think I may get pink blossom soon, which I love even more than white.

It's definitely happening differently to last year though.

Listened to wild birds.  Watched the over-night film of the hedgehog in our garden  .  Watered sweet pea seedlings, planted more.  Nasturtiums aren't coming up yet  .
Fed pond fish.  Fed wild birds.  Weeded between the slabs on the patio: again

The hosta's are getting ready come up.

[CLKD]

Hostas suddenly pop up don't they  ........ I had 3 pots of soil on Sat., this morning, HOSTAS 

Plum blossom is over.  Apple blossom on one tree is opening.  Blossom on the one used for jam (name escapes me) ...... or crab apple  .  Another lot of narcissi opened over the weekend, newly set in November.  Bees occasionally.

Lovely sunny day here and my Viburnum Judii has burst into flower: the fragrance is wonderful! 

I have one in the garden as well. Love the fragrance!
