All my small daffs and crocuses are out ....but most of my bulbs are still just leaves ....although the hyacinths have unopened flowers on them

I’ve been there ...it’s beautiful ...especially in spring 

There are some self set trees around the gardens where I live, they could do with some attention, but the management company only pay for basic gardening. I was thinking of lopping off a couple of the lower branches to promote some growth further up. I like to see the birds in the trees. one or two could do with taking out as they are too close together.

 Sounds like a plan, as long as nobody would complain.
