Six on Saturday – My Gardening Week

Six on Saturday is a weekly meme originally hosted by The Propagator but now in the tender care of Jim at Garden Ruminations.

Another week with only limited opportunities to get in the garden although the forecast for today is good, albeit cold. Despite this, is it too soon to say we’re getting the first signs of spring?

One – Topmost buds on Clematis ‘Nelly Moser’ just before we’re forecast to have a cold snap.

Two – More buds forming this time on a viburnum.

Three – For me, the only saving grace of this spiky mahonia is the early flowers.

Four – ‘Charlotte’ potatoes happily chitting away.

Five – First appearance of anemone blanda.

Six – A brief appearance by the sun persuaded this clump of crocus to think about opening. Just think about it, mind you.
