| I was sat looking out the window the other day. When I could just see this tiny pink something. I had to get my binoculars out because it was pouring down with rain. I'd forgotten about Tulip humbles violacea , and much earlier than my other Tulips. |

 |
| And lastly a new bloom …Primula vulgarism 'double white' Thank you Carol at May Dreams Gardens |
 |
| The muck is piling up ! Now that we have had a few dry periods, in what has been so far this month... cold, wet and grey. I had planned to systematically work through the tidying up of the garden . I've been so deprived of out door time this winter , I've just been rampaging in every direction . |
 |
| Every spare container is stuffed … that's perennials this time of year. I really need to fill in more with evergreens ! |
 |
| Nearly done with the front , except the annual weeds are moving in …. |
 |
| I've been waiting for this one to bloom ! It's a new one 'Chrysanthus orange monarch' . It's very tiny , the size of a small candle flame. I wish I'd planted some in a bowl , so I could bring them indoors ! |
 |
| While tidying up the sunroom , I happened to discover ….I have ripe Cape gooseberries or Physalis peruviana ! |
 |
| There were lots of blooms when I brought my two plants in for the winter. I didn't expect they would come to much. But I did give them plenty of water…. just in case . |
 |
| Every now and again I give the flowers a little squeeze. The fruit seemed not to be getting any bigger. But, recently they have been turning yellow . and this morning a few had dropped . That's when I found nice ripe cherries….and very sweet too ! |
