A month of rain later, clumps of snowdrops lifted from my parents’ garden now grace the bare earth around the base of the fruit trees. ‘They’ say that you shouldn’t have anything competing with newly planted trees, but surely such dainty little bulbs can do no harm.

Very pretty. We do keep our newly planted fruit trees clear(ish) of grass etc, but a few weeds and flowers always creeps in and the little trees seem totally fine.

Thank you – and now, 2 years later, just to say that the snowdrops are out in abundance and the trees also doing well. So they can co-exist happily :0)
