28th Feb

Cut the tops of my hydrangeas today and cleared away a few more leaves. There are bulb shoots everywhere now - Spring is definitely with us. Some daffs are now out in pots. the two pots were in a sheltered position by the house but I've now moved them to where I can see them from the window. There are some at the end of the garden that should be out soon.

Here are some pics of different bits of the garden...

First crocus

The weather has been a bit milder the last couple of days and the first crocuses are out in the garden. All the other bulbs have really had a growth spurt as well. The feb gold daffs better hurry up though if they are going to come out in feb.

A few more snowdrops are out. The hellebores at the end of the garden have perked up and teh one that hides behind the lavender is also out again.

Snowdrops

We've had a cold couple of weeks. The snow last Monday hung around for a few days but we're still getting frosty nights. The bulbs are a LOT further behind than they were last year. There are shoots about - but I had daffs and a tulip by this time last year!

The first bulbs to have come out are some snowdrops at the end of the garden.

There is still a bit of tidying up to do in the garden. I cleared a few leaves today and found lots of shoots hiding underneath. I also need to cut the grasses down. Maybe in the next few days...

Snow

Lots of lovely snow in London last night.

I know you are meant to shake it off the trees and bushes but they all look so lovely with it on I can't bring myself to.
