Here in not so sunny Carmarthenshire, in my north facing, waterlogged, acid clay garden the daffs are just blooming, the crocuses are in swing and a few primroses are starting to strut their stuff. The dwarf narcissi are very much in the green too. Some other bulbs are poking through, possibly (hopefully) the fritilarias and the bluebells.
I paid £240:00 for the removal of a 30′ leylandiai a couple of weekends ago, it was starting to swamp a lovely oak so it had to go. There are now twigs all over the lawn I reseeded last year that need to be raked out soon, certainly before the grass starts to grow.
Spring is surely here?
