#GardensHour #poetry From ‘Spring’ Christina Rossetti Young leaves clothe early hedgerow trees; Seeds, and roots, and stones of fruits, Swollen with sap put forth their shoots; Curled-headed ferns sprout in the lane; Birds sing and pair again. www.fhs-sw1.org.uk/news/fhs-poe...

Just stopped roadside to lust after beautiful trees that are in bloom. Lens tells me it is a plum tree. The single flower is growing alone out of the side of the tree as is the cluster in the first picture. No branch, just a cluster or single flower. The tree is a riot of color. #gardenshour #garden

Still some hips on the Rosa rugosa rubra. Most have been eaten by the birds. I love the beautiful texture & the spiky stems. 🌱 #GardensHour

Scilla mischtschenkoana, I love how these things develop on the inside then just spring out of the ground already in full flower. #GardensHour #bloomscrolling 🌱 #blueskymonday

Dull, is the only word to describe the past few weeks, it’s got to have been the dullest winter ever. @gardenshour.bsky.social #gardenshour

Hurrah, the cucumbers are peeking through. On a heat mat for now but once established will be sheltered under cloches in the greenhouse until big enough to pot on. 🌱 #GardensHour

#GardensHour After the success of mum's paperwhites, we're working on forcing hyacinths. Did a bit of experimenting with chilling. Only one container, set out in early January, is now blooming:
