Spring?

 

The first sign of spring - clumps of wild anemones in the fields

And I'm sure this is a wild poppy. They have more rounded leaves and usually come out about a month after the anemones.

They're early

A sign for 

Paradisos Taverna

The rustic taverna, eating place, a few metres up the road.

It's already open for outdoor eating on a Saturday or Sunday

This green weed takes over the garden every winter and just dries up and disappears in the summer heat.

In greek it's called trifylli which is literally 3-leaf.

It's not oxalis because the leaves are different. 

It's not sorrel because once again, different leaf shape.

Clover?  Possibly. A certain type of clover. Ours has yellow flowers not unlike a buttercup.

I googled for a translation and it came up as Shamrock.

So what's your opinion gardener Dave, over there in shamrock land? 

Orange nasturtium flowers and yellow clover/shamrock flowers

This yellow flowered clover/shamrock attracts bees and butterflies. I've noticed it grows as close as it can to the roots of other plants in the garden, celery, the roses, geraniums. It's obviously trying to get any nutriment that's given to the other flower.

Fortunately it comes out easily, usually by the root. But once in your garden you'll never get rid of it. Only the nasturtiums have kept it at bay. But then they take over.

At least nasturtiums are edible.

Thank goodness the grapevine is starting to bud.

I was worried we  had pruned it back too harshly.

But no.
