First, there was just the new fence and a lot of bare earth (minus two wheel barrows full of stones)
Then came 200 bulbs...
...which were scattered amongst the lavenders, which were planted first, a few days before...
Then came a series of big holes...
into which the daffs were buried, 3x their length, deep down.
Then we waited...through November...
...and December, and January..
.
Lo and behold! The First of March - and the first flowers are (just!) opening ...
...Daffodils for St David - Dydd Gwyl Dewi hapus!
Probably the very best shade of yellow to be found anywhere.

Such a welcome sight! Ours are up but not yet flowering.

Wow - next time I unthinkingly walk past a row of daffodils, I will think about the work that went into them. As a city dweller I don't really think; flowers just appear. :-)

How lovely. We have to wait a little longer. The snow has to melt first.
