    Default Signs of life and spring

    My nispero has tiny fruits, my plum has a few small blossoms showing and the daffs have been out for a week or so :-) My orange trees still have edible fruit on and the lemon has turned to a mass of lemon at last !

    With all this rain recently, my garden is a lake! However, the weeds are starting to grow in abundance - a sign that spring is on its way!!!!!

    Dont think we will be having any of these, looked up and found this rather worrying fact which would give her Ladyship ideas

    Like most related plants, the seeds (pips) and young leaves of the plant are slightly poisonous, containing small amounts of cyanogenetic glycocides (including amygdalin) which release cyanide when digested, though the low concentration and bitter flavour normally prevents enough being eaten to cause harm.
