Noticed the tiny violets have appeared in the church yard..............
The quince and the flowering redcurrant are just about to burst into flower, but the plum trees are stolidly holding on to their blossoms.

Friday 6th April
A second beautiful morning, birds singing, we await the swallows, should be here soon. Seeds sown, a visit to the nursery centre to get tomato plants planned and the year should begin.

It is always a welcome sight to see the tiny spring violets. We usually have them In April also, but alas, winter does not seem to want to leave. Tomorrow, what few things are growing will be under a coat of white.
ReplyDeleteThe snow has really been a nuisance this winter and spring, probably due to climate change and the Gulf Stream flowing the wrong way.
DeleteI adore violets but sadly left themall at the farm. I shall goback and ask for a clump - they are not gardeners and so will not mind at all I am sure. Nothing beats the smell of a spring violet.
ReplyDeleteI am always just pleased to see them reappear each spring, the old churchyards are a good place for them.
ReplyDeleteAfter long and dreary winter I am ALWAYS amazed at the burst of color of spring.
ReplyDeleteIt is such a joy Tabor ;)
ReplyDeletePurple violets [and the yellow ones in the woods] have been frosted several nights running and snowed upon over Friday night. Quince and Bradford pears have blossomed and gone by. New leaves all holding tightly in bud--a slow spring.
ReplyDeleteOur quince is yet to break into blossom, the weather has been so unpredictable to date though it has turned somewhat warmer, daffodils greet you on every side, one reason why I don't plant them ;) and the bees are out, rather late though.
