Daily details from the garden to bring you inspiration throughout the year
First sighting of forget-me-nots flowers this week. It feels late – but looking back over previous year’s photographs, it seems about right for the end of March. Unlike the goat willow, which is definitely running a fortnight behind, the blue haze that lends so much to tulip time by floating beneath their voluptuous finery, several inches off the ground, doesn’t truly get going till April and so, putting in an appearance just before the clocks go forward, is entirely respectable. (You did put the clocks forward last night, didn’t you? Course you did.) An extra hour’s garden fettling in the evening now, or an elongation of gin o’clock. There’s no earthly reason why these should be mutually exclusive, and either, or both, can now be done in the presence of forget-me-nots.
