Slowly, Slowly

This is perhaps the last day of inhospitable, unseasonal weather.  It's still cool out there, and so very slowly the flowers are coming out.

Here are some roses - finally!

Here are the Alliums and the bulb I can't remember the name of - they should actually be finished by now.

Not fully open yet in all their pom-pom glory.

However, we seem to be promised, this week, a taste of Spring.  Temperate, sunny, proper mid to late May weather.

Hurrah!

Time to think about that vegetable border, which hopefully with some careful planning and work next Saturday, will be planted on the long, lovely not just Bank Holiday but Jubilee Weekend following - 4 days off!  Thanks, your Majesty ...
