13th March 2005
One of those weekends when being in England cannot
be bettered. Cold but sunny and brilliant blue skies. Once the frost had melted,
it was great gardening weather. Made even better as so many of the early spring
flowers are out and everything is in bud. Mind you the camellias have already
suffered from the frost but the magnolias look OK.

| The early narcissus are in their prime |
|
|
| This is the third year of the Tete a Tete bed. Planted 1000+ so not quite sure how many there are now. |
|
|
| I still prefer these wild primroses |
|
|
| Hellebores Niger (Christmas rose) |
|
|
| Euphorbia myrsinites |
|
|
| Ribes sanguineum - or a currant to you and me. One of my favorite spring shrubs as the flowers come out (just like the cherries) before the leaves. They are just bursting into flower this weekend. |

| Easter rabbit? Not the most welcome visitor to my garden! But it's not called Warren House for nothing. |
