I just noticed my cavolo nero has gone to seed and there’s lots of yellow flowers on them. ?

I've never had a plum in three years and ONE pear last year so anything better than that is a bonus?Do you have wood pigeons? The ones round our way go for the fruitlets on both plum and pear trees. And this year I'm sure they have been going for the blossom buds already. Also squirrels go for the fruit before it ripens.

There should be two more varieties popping up soon but I don't know exactly what colour they will be, from google imaging the Wilko packaging it looked like Little Princess and Little Beauty.Here's another one of the Wilko tulips. This one looks like Tulipa saxatilis. Very pretty! There's one more different tulip that's not flowered yet.
EDIT: After some more googling it looks like it could be Tulipa turkestanica?

Amazed at how many things are actually starting to flower ….. considering all my problems with compost - AND the weather.
Got a fair few euphorbia starting to take off ….

And a bright white Iberis

The late spring has done many plants a favour, the young growth hasn't got frosted this year. Bodes well for the year!

I’ve got a solitary marigold in flower too.
