My garden*'s looking really cool. I'm not being boastful though, it's nothing to go with me. The honeysuckles my predecessor planted seem to have doubled in size this spring and are covered in buds which are just starting to open, the indomitable rhubarb is as large and glossy as ever (crumble anyone?), the fuchsia in the border is covered in buds, all my planters at the front are full of foxglove seedlings flowering and columbines because last year's lot have seeded, and all the sweet-peas I planted too late last year and which I assumed had been killed by the Welsh winter have turned out to be alive and well and are covered in flowers.
*Well, yard with a kind of border down the side really.
