We planted some swift on April 10th. It's OHs birthday next Thursday. It would be lovely if after all the hard work he has put in he could enjoy the fruits of his labours. Some of them are getting flowers on & we have fleece on them for a few weeks. Do you think it's worth a FIRCLE. I love that word.

They vary a lot. My Duke of York and Cara are coming up strongly while Arran Pilot, Charlotte and PFA are barely showing.
