#SixOnSaturday – Six things happening in my garden this week

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

How refreshing to have a few days not only to do jobs in the garden but also to enjoy simply being out in it. And I’ve sown my first seeds of the year – squash, courgettes and tomatoes – currently on a sunny windowsill.

One – A delightful group of anenome blanda.

Two – Two lily bulbs planted last year that have decided to multiply.

Three – ‘Timperley Early’ rhubarb getting closer to becoming a crumble.

Four – Is anyone else like me and forgets which colour tulips you’ve planted where? In a different part of the garden I have a seemingly random combination of a yellow tulip next to an apricot pink one.

Five – Spotted these snakeshead fritillary emerging from a clump of grape hyacinths.

Six – I’m not particularly keen on lamium but have to admit it is a great plant for a shady area. This is under a mature apple tree,
