Six things from my garden - 28th March 2026

Arriving home yesterday, after a few days in Cornwall, I just had to get into the garden and was able to do some gardening.  We were so pleased to see large patches of the lovely wild primrose growing to the very edge of the coast and I start with week with similar yellows. Next week after the clocks have changed there will be more time in the evenings to get out there.  With six things from the garden to share, I am joining in with Jim and several other gardeners.

1.  Primula 'Treborth Yellow' which I bought in 2024 from Pottertons is doing very nicely.  It is quite a small flowered in comparison with those bright things currently being sold in garden centers, but it is a beautiful yellow in the garden.

2. For a pretty lemon, I couldn't fault Primula vulgaris Belarina Lemon Chiffon when I saw it on Long Acre Plants  stall at the Snowdrop Festival earlier this year. It has a green ruff and double flowers.

3. Looking far more natural is Primula Elatior, again one I bought last year from Long Acre Plants.  It looks lovely amongst all the other spring flowers in the conservatory bed.

4.Again in the Conservatory Border is another spring beauty, called Pulmonaria 'Diana Clare'. The original plant was a gift from Brenda.  It came as a small plant and I have been lucky that it is settling down nicely now in the garden.

5. Another blue in that same border is this little blue flowered bulb: Scilla Sardensis.  I planted them as bulbs which first came up in 2023, so they too seem to have settled down.

6. In the front garden the Amelanchier is out in full bloom.  I believe it to be a week or so early.
