Good call with the arabis, it's a pretty perennial. I'll have to keep an eye out for some.

I love having mint in bloom. It is always covered in bees.

Beautiful! But you'd better hope it doesn't rain... my double daffs are just ridiculously floppy if they get wet, and they will never recover. While you're thinking about bulbs, maybe also consider putting Arabis (rock/wall cress) around them. It does nothing all year except provide a bit of evergreen groundcover, but it was first to bloom in my garden this spring, with an astonishing carpet of lush tiny white flowers. I got an end-of-season flat on clearance last year... keep your eyes peeled for this underappreciated perennial! Cool meme, but I don't think I can take on another right now...

I have lots of memories of Bomanville, as I lived in Whitby growing up. I'm sure I've seen the Bomanville Museum, at least from the outside.

When buying hot banana peppers I smell them. When ready it has a unique aroma which it passes on to the food.
