The Arrival of Spring

Well I say Spring but we are experiencing temperatures colder than last December.

Apparently yesterday (11 March) was the coldest March day since 1986.  Consequently I am reluctant to carry out spring pruning until things warm up a little and there's not very much going on in any of my planting areas.


However, bulbs are starting to come through and green shoots
are appearing everywhere.  The star player though is this little snow drop.  It's the only one to surface and is determinedly showing it's face in the freezing temperatures.

It is to be hoped that the weather warms up soon and then the other bulbs will start to flower and I will be able to get down to business with pruning and planting.  So watch this space.
