You should set up a time-lapse video, SB.

I am hoping if I remember BB,to take a photo daily or every two days and post. I always plot the progress of how the garden performs each year,unfortunately with my PC problem awhile back I lost the last two years of my garden photos.
I would add I can view my garden photos on Flickr,however I have not been able to download them to my PC. :(

You are always way ahead of us FC,no sign of ours as yet,I suppose I shall soon be accused of digging them up again by SWMBO once again - as I do every year, then they suddenly appear much to my relief. ;) :D

I think it's a sign of the seasons coming earlier FC. I have noticed it with many things over the past 30 to 40 years Blossom now appears much earlier than it used to all those years ago.

I think you posted a photo earlier FC of your Lilies of the Valley,you had some lovely ones last year. I was in the garden this afternoon looking for ours which seem to be way behind yours and I still cannot see any signs of them emerging from the soil. I suppose SWMBO will be getting onto me again if they soon do not make an appearance. :(

Do what I do SB and tell her that if she can do any better then to get out there and do it herself. :D
Unfortunately my wife can't do any better because of her condition but sure wishes she could get out there and do it. Seriously though, I don't tell her that anymore because it causes upsets. :cry:
