Since getting into gardening, this time of year always brings a sense of urgency. There's so much to do; sowing, planting, taking cuttings, watering, controlling pests. So it's nice to sit back once in a while, to enjoy the daffs planted in the autumn, before burying the newly arrived summer flowering bulbs from an offer in The Observer.



Not exactly LIVE PLANTS, more like dormant bits of wood which don't need to be opened or planted with quite the sense of urgency that the capital letters convey.
