00:02You can bring the magic of primroses into your own garden by buying plants or growing them from seed.
00:10Gradually I've introduced them. I try and place them where they look au naturel,
00:17right up by the hedges and you know in these little corners.
00:22Sometimes they seed themselves all over the show in the most unlikely places.
00:29But sometimes even these carefree beauties come under threat.
00:37Look at this! Look what the pheasants have done.
00:43They've pecked all the flowers off this first clump and they were beautiful.
00:49I've been longing to show you these.
00:51I love having birds in the garden but when I hear that pheasant I just know I've got to watch
00:58out for my primroses.
01:00So how do you increase it? You just divide the plants and that's what we did way back when the
01:06flowers were on the wane last year.
01:08They've pulled it apart, replanted it and then they find their final home here.
01:14But wait until you've enjoyed that flower because this is their moment.
01:24This cheeky pheasant is coming through here and I bet it's going to come and have another go at these
01:30primroses.
01:32I think it's going to get a surprise in a minute.
01:35Go on! Go on!
01:40Go on!
01:40Woo!
01:43It's gone!
01:44But it didn't squawk.
