A couple of days ago I had a look at the tubs and boxes which will soon
get their summer plants, as it won't be too long before the violas and
polyanthus will be over their best. I was amazed to see last year's
fibrous begonias pushing through! I've also found a couple of
pelargoniums which have survived the winter at the bottom of a sheltered
south-facing wall, and are beginning to send up new growth.

It will be interesting to see if these survivors do as well as this
year's new plants.
