52 Walks in 2010 - Walk 9 - A walk around our garden (14th March 2010)

Not able to go for a proper walk this week so I thought I would just take a quick walk around the garden this morning and upload a few photos of the flowers that are now in bloom. Everything is so late this year. This time last year the daffodils were in full bloom but at the moment there are only green leaves so I think it will be quite a while before the flowers appear.

There are quite a few crocuses out though.

As this morning has been quite sunny even the bees are out busily collecting pollen.

These pansies were planted in the tubs by the front door back at the beginning of October to give a bit of colour during the winter. I thought that they had been killed by the heavy snow we had during the winter but they seem to have sprung back to life.

And lastly the Polyanthus are starting to come out. These are always so bright and cheerful but have a habit of springing up where they shouldn't be - like in the middle of the lawn. I did move a lot of them last spring and so far those that have appeared are in the borders and not on the grass.
