What a turvy-topsy world…

April was the driest for some years, and not for the first time we had an absence of April showers – ideal growing weather for seeds. This May, in Wales we have had our full allocation of average rainfall and its only the 17th! And our weather could be described as April showers!

The bluebells are rapidly becoming my favourite plant with their resilience and optimism in their colonisation remarkable to behold.
