Having a garden is proving to be a real boon as we go into lock-down. Out there, the birds are singing as usual and the flowers are blazing away, much as they do any year. These are annuals bought just before the big shut-down, but the flowers which delight and surprise are those which we did not plant, but which come up each year.
One year I did plant some yellow tulip bulbs. Now these appear, often where least expected.
Primroses tend to seed themselves marching out across the lawn.
And lovely blue grape hyacinths which have been here all the thirty years that we have lived here.
In the sunshine, pink-tipped buds on the viburnum, attracting insects even in March.
