Manna from heaven (fresh out)

As I'm posting these last few blips retrospectively, I can't remember what prevented me from getting any further than my courtyard on Saturday (apart from the wet weather).

This little self-seeded fern has managed to get a toe-hold in the unprepossessing gravel, and seemed to be enjoying the rain. I'm hoping to create a real green space this summer, with lots of shade-loving plants in troughs and pots. Until then - meet my garden :)
