I put the tubers in 20 days ago and they have sprouted and are 10cm high! I hope they will form a bright welcome to my porch! It is cold today – still got the N-E wind which brings the felt temperature down from 12C at present although 20C predicted later.
Elderflowers might be ready for picking on the next hot sunny day!
Lawns at my end of the road – 5 have a profusion of buttercups and have not been cut – will they let them go wild? TBH even this is a victory and hopefully we will see lots more bees – dragonfly yesterday looked a bit like a hornet!
