#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 cruel to be back to cold, wet and windy weather just as our gardens are rewarding us with spring flowers and blossom. Plans to plant my second early potatoes have been put on hold for the time being.

One – The bergenia (not sure of the variety) has finally started flowering. I no longer need to be envious of my neighbours along the street who have had theirs flowering for at least a month.

Two to Four – A trio of daffodils, varieties unknown because of course I’ve lost all the labels.

Five – Courgette seedlings putting their heads above the soil. I’ve sown two varieties – ‘Firenze’ and ‘Romanesco’ – both of which have done well in previous years.

Six – Viburnum flower with the foliage of spiraea japonica ‘Goldflame’ in the background. The viburnum was pruned back drastically a year ago so it’s a relief to see that it’s come through the winter.
