No trips down the allotment this weekend, as we went to visit Dad. He gave us a beautiful orchid plant, which is currently sitting on the dining room table. I'm going to have to get to grips with orchids, as this is the second we have now. My sister in law has a wonderful way with them, including unusual and difficult to grow ones. A new challenge!
Coming out in the garden:
- large daffodils
- both camellias are now in flower
- the Kerria planted last year is just starting to flower.
Next weekend, I'll have to get the early potatoes planted doen on the plot. A busy time of year!
