Spring is springing - what is your favourite flower and your favourite wild flower. Why?

I love the simplicity of daisies [marguerites] also lawn daisies. Also, deep gold marigolds, for their cheerfulness. Lastly, fuchsias of all kinds - especially because they attract the huge humming-bee hawk-moth.

  • After a lovely afternoon preparing troughs for strawberry plants, I tripped over the veranda step, crashed into my new pear tree and it split about 12"' from the graft. I've taped it with florist tape and will have to see what happens. So, a warning! Its been a winter away from gardening - so take more care than I did! I've vowed to do no more than an hour a day until I get fitter.
