It feels like we might be in for another cold spring. After the gloom of February, flowers are late, and currently shivering in a cold spell with sharp hail showers….brghhhh. But managed to find some more signs of spring for my #SixOnSaturday.

In the greenhouse, my red and purple potato varieties are hitting well. I do like to grow potatoes that I can’t find in the shops, and the ones with blue or red flesh and skins are always interesting.

Out in the windy, chilly garden, clematis are enthusiastically budding.

And there is more excitement in the flower borders. My wonderful wallflowers have been blasting out flowers since January, and still going strong. Wonderful rich colour to remind us all of summer colour to come much later.

Primroses are often in full flower by mid-March. I couldn’t find a single one out yet. Instead, this one is trying hard, maybe a couple more weeks before flowers appear.

On the edibles front, we’re a long way from harvest, but I’m excited to see some growing action from my rhubarb. This year I forgot to mulch in the winter, but it still seems to be going strong.

Finally, it is time to nip back into the house. Another squally shower is coming. Here you can see the storm cloud approaching with still-skeletal Appel tress in the foreground.

I hope you enjoyed the colour and promise I managed to extract for my #SixOnSaturday from a brief walk around the COLD garden. Thanks to those leaving comments on the blog. I do read them all, keep them coming. And do join in with #SixOnSaturday. All you need to do is find 6 things in your garden to show us. Then post on social, or add a link at Jim’s blog below.
