It’s been lovely over here since Monday and things are starting to wake up, especially these Marvel of Peru (AKA the Four O’clock Plant) seeds that have germinated that we got from Real Seeds. It’s a bit of a mad plant, as it says on wikipedia here, “The flowers usually open from late afternoon or at dusk (namely between 4 and 8 o’clock), giving rise to one of its common names. The flowers then produce a strong, sweet fragrance throughout the night, then close in the morning. New flowers open the following day.” We will keep you posted on developments.

As for the toads in the pond, it’s looking rather hectic there!
