A Sight For Sore Eyes

Have finally got the Apricot to flower well, after nearly seven years. Have had no apricots to date, but this year I am hopeful. Just to be sure I have been playing 'Cupid' with a small, soft. brush.

Already? What part of the country are you in? Is that in a greenhouse?

Yes, it's in an unheated greenhouse. I'll put it outside when the weather warms up properly. In this part of Wales, lots of plants don't survive the cold and wet. Plants like Penstemons, fail to survive our wet winters - so they are more an Annual than a Perennial.
All the stuff that you can normally grow outside, in other regions - in these parts, tends to be grown in polytunnels.
