Success, well done Vinny.
My happy today was seeing the first of the pear blossom bursting. Now I've got to hope the frost stays away so we get a crop, otherwise its curtains for the blossom.

Two of my pear trees have been in full bloom for a week or two - the others are still thinking about opening. Different varieties of course, but I can only guess at which is which. 
My happy is wandering around the garden in the sunshine, watching it change from yellow (Daffs & primroses) to blue and purple (bluebells, honesty, lots of violets).
Pausing to smell the blossom on the mirabelle plum (like almonds) - more flowers than ever before.
Watching the bumble bees zooming about their business - so furry I want to cuddle them.

I have a willow which I am training around a garden arch. I strung solar lights around the arch (£2.99 at Home Bargains) and last night saw them lit up for the first time. Today I cut my lawn successfully (Lawnmower tinkering was a success! Yay  ) and checked out the arch. The willow has the fuzzy cat's tails on it and the bees seem to love it!
So that's two things that made me happy today, and one for last night!

My happy today is seeing one of my very few (2) asparagus plants showing a growth. I covered it in some home compost to let it snuggle in, we're due a frost tonight

Another happy. Our large copper beech has sprouted. The leaves change colour so quickly at this time of year, it's a thing of beauty. She has popped early this year, in fact the earliest in my 10 years of records. A good 10 - 14 days before normal.

My Happy was seeing that the Nine Star perennial broccoli that I grew from seed have "brocced"!. I may pick some for din-dins!

Is it under cover V. Do you not get it decimated by pigeons?

Its only little. Don't think the pests have spotted it yet. Actually, the pigeons don't seem to hassle the kale at all.
