What a shock the weather was yesterday morning, our weather station said the temperature was 5C and as we went to leave the house at 9, it started to hail! So we waited till it had past before we set off for SW.. I keep my plastic hat with me incase and altho it flattens my hair, it all bounces back when I run my fingers through it. We didn't hang around after the meeting and drove straight home, glad to get back into the warm.
After lunch we had look my seedings in our little plastic green houses.

They are looking ok now, but when we looked in, the top trays were full of water..we hadn't noticed the clear plastic had disintegrated and the rain had poured in!
Oh no! But my tomatoes, pelargoniums, lupins, Sweet peas and lavender all survived. All the plants bought as bare root plants are growing too, but my cosmos are leggy, so I'll sow some more next month

A small primrose plant now 3 years old has spread, so I'll separate some shoots and spread them around the garden.

And a lovely cowslip growing well. We get them free from the birds!

I'm very hopeful of garden full of colour again, I love sitting outside as often as I can admiring it.
How's your garden?

My garden is a tufty squelchy green shambles, dotted with daffodils and grape hyacinths and covered with a light frost this morning
My cosmos last year wasn't very good, trying again this year hoping for better results. Glad you managed to save your plants from the flood, we've had some very heavy downpours here too.
I have started a few vegetable seeds that are just coming up. I will start more next month. In the yard, we have crocuses and daffodils blooming.
I love primroses, and it's a joy to see them growing on roadside verges.
The garden was looking fine in today's sunshine, it makes such a difference to see blue sky and sunshine.
Pleased you were able to save your plants from the flooding.
All the best Jan
Always nice to get back home after being out in bad weather.
Looks like you have a good start on your garden.
We can't plant anything outside here till the end of May.
I do have some seeds to get started in doors, tomatoes, radishes, and beans.
