Bringing the bin back in to day, I noticed that the Iberis sempervirens (perennial candytuft) is starting to flower. This lot never does very well – the front garden is north-facing, shaded by a wall, and very poor soil, so it’s unusual for it to be ahead of the one in the back garden. Still, a bright spot among the wind-blown sweet wrappers and other debris that I regularly collect and remove!
