My first Viola this spring

crocus

The first crocus outdoors are always so exciting but it's very difficult to capture in photos.

these purple hyacinths (Delft Blue I believe) are just ready to burst


moving beyond bulbs (and it's stopped raining!), my first green alkanet

one of my first campanula

As the rain has finally stopped I've looked at what is coming up and seen lots of weeds! I thought I had eradicated the ground elder but found a few "seedlings", of course, spread by roots underground. And a few other seedlings which are easier to see now as so few other plants are growing. It's useful to know what the smallest seedlings are so that the weeds can be removed asap so I have added more images to the Weed Guide.
