Interesting Snippet no.3

My chives are doing well! I just left them in this pot over winter, where they were sown last year. I'd mostly forgotten about them but they were busy growing anyway. Then I noticed they had developed purple flower buds! I can't wait for them to open. I want there to be loads of new chives because I love their oniony taste and like to use them in my cooking!

A bee has been buzzing happily around the grape hyacinths! I think this is a buff tailed bumblebee. Bees like purple flowers, so if you want to help them plant some in your garden! (Or a window-box if you don’t have a garden.)

Interesting Snippet no.1

The fern I planted in the logs of the banking has started to unfurl! When I first planted it, it was hibernating and looked dead, but now it is happy in its new home and is stretching out to the sunlight!

Ferns are one of the most ancient plants on the planet. They were growing when the dinosaurs
were around and evolved before grass.
