It's wonderful to see the almond tree and nectarine trees we planted together coming out in blossom. A sure sign spring is on its way. When we chose these trees we were not bothered whether they would produce fruits or not because the flowers are enough and that's proving to be the case.

Worryingly I pulled up a plant with similar leaves along the woodland path thinking it was a weed.

If anyone can let me know what it is then I'll be very grateful.

And my largest project in the garden has been reorganising the raised beds.

The smaller of the two beds had become dominated by three blueberry bushes and although they produced a plentiful supply of fruit I've taken the risk of moving them out and planting them in the left hand vegetable bed. There are two Hibiscus in the bed but they didn't flower last year so I think I need to find a sunnier spot in the garden for them.

The larger raised bed had become swamped by two Rosemary plants, a Thyme and a Sage so I've shifted them into the same vegetable bed as the blueberries. I'm sure there will be some purists out there who will be screaming as they read this but I'm following in Jane's footsteps - she was a bit of a garden rebel and didn't do anything by the book but it seemed to work for her.
