Starved of gardening talk

May I ask for some advice please?
3.5 years ago I planted a young dwarf plum tree and it's done well.
Its upper branches have grown very tall and leggy so when should I cut these branches back. Probably should have been as soon as the plums were harvested.
Any comments please?

Monty Don has a new series starting next Friday on BBC 2 about American gardens. I'm looking forward to it and I'm about to start to decide which roses to order from David Austin soon.

I’ve got some paper whites and two lots of hyacinths ready to bring into the house when the decorations go tomorrow. I also bought a half price amaryllis. The main issue with them all will be stopping my wretched cats from eating them!

Outside, the bulbs in pots are poking through and the winter pansies have had flowers on them the entire time since I planted them. We’ve not had much frost despite being in the N of Scotland but there’s time yet for that.

Well bizzle how about we both post a few notes and observations based on the jobs and growth in the garden? others would be sure to join in along the way!

To start with I've been planting up some belated bulbs in pots.
Some white tulips with a layer of white scented daffs on top.

I thought I'd position them in a dull darker part of the garden to liven it up a bit.

No snowdrops showing yet, but the Jet Fire and Tete a tete narcissus in the garden are up about 4 inches.

Also I'm thinking of filling a window box with some Primroses, to give me something to look at for the next few weeks.

I've been watching the blackbird strip my horizontal Cotoneaster of it's berries from the sitting room window. I'm glad he comes everyday. I'll have to find another food source for him when the berries have all been eaten!

How about you, whats happening in your garden?

Why Not??
Spring bulbs coming through nicely, it’s so mild, primulas out now, the yellow ones ( pink ones seem to have vanished).
Thinking of which new shrubs to plant in April, and a new small rock garden.

Our snowdrops are peeking through. The standstill is about to end because the borders need clearing of winter debris.

Now, where are my fingerless gloves??
