Sadly the osteospermum and argyranthemum haven't made it, but I'm thrilled to see how well all the fuchsia and geranium plants are doing. I shall have to start popping them outside during the day to harden them off now, as I will soon need the greenhouse for other things 😉
Although the photo doesn't show it too well, I was delighted to see blossom on two of the fruit trees: Summer Sun (cherry) on the right, and Scrumptious (a dessert apple) on the left. No blossom yet on the plum, Victoria, which is further to the right and out of shot but I'm just really happy that all three have come through being uprooted from the front garden!
Both of the two little redcurrant bushes, Jonkheer van Tets, look like they may well produce fruit although the one in this photo is further ahead than the other one in the bed. The strawberries are looking good, too 😊
The primroses that I moved last month are finally filling out and showing signs of blooms.
The mint seem to be enjoying their new living accommodation! I still can't remember the name of the one on the right but its leaves have a lovely spearmint scent.
The standard redcurrant (also Jonkheer van Tets) must be feeling happy too, judging by all the potential currants forming on it!
Buds are starting to appear on the chives, but sadly I think I've pushed the thyme (out of shot in this photo) to its death with my over-enthusiastic pruning 😯 I have a rosemary to replace it, though, which I got from Tesco with the shopping this week from their "growing herbs" section. I have my doubts as to whether it will survive here but I do like to give things a go 😉
The pansies (Matrix Mix Coastal Sunrise) are looking a little better than they were last month.....
but are being totally outshone by their brethren on the kitchen windowsill 😆
The raised beds are filling out.....
and amazingly those little fuchsias do indeed appear to have survived the winter!
I'm really pleased with how good the water bowl bed is looking. I've just got to remember to fix the poor hare's front legs this year 😳
When I last showed you the tulips (Apricot Beauty) they were still in bud, but look at them now ~ aren't they pretty! I'm so glad I didn't miss them flowering whilst we were away 😊
