 I'm going potty! A few additions to be planted out as spring gets underway. Towards the front of the table there are some recent purchases from the RHS Early Spring Plant Fair: several Lungworts, a few alpines and a saxifrage. Behind them some bulbs potted up last autumn and various seeds in pots left out for winter chilling i.e. stratification to break dormancy.
 Along the wall at the back there are pots of Honesty, Red Campion and Foxglove grown from last year's seeds. The yellow flowers poking up under the beanpoles are Winter Aconites (see also my entry below).
