Winter Aconites have appeared in my garden in northern home counties!:D I always take that as showing Spring isn't too far away...

    I know! Everything is starting to wake up! Can't wait to see the bulbs pop up! Everything seems to be waking up! So far today have seen a family of squirrels, a load of wood pigeons and a family of foxes wandering about! They all seem to like my garden. Was so happy to see some black birds earlier in the week and a thrush! Love looking at the wildlife!

    Nice to see a happy post!

    We're experiencing our first spring in our new garden and its so exciting. The little bulbs we weren't sure what they are turn out to be drifts and drifts of snow drops....in our ''white garden''.:) The lilac and the horse chestnuts are in bud and there is growth at the base of the few things we planted last year. Its all very, very exciting.

    How lovely. Still awaiting an appearance of something in my garden although the rhubarb is just starting to sprout!

    My helebores are in full flower, and looking stunning, my favourite is a dark purple one ni idea what it's called, but it flowers profusely :) Daffs and other bulbs are starting to push their way up in my little woods, but no where else yet... I'm in the west coast of scotland, so still cold and frsty here none the less :)

    yep, a little clump of snowdrops here too in the frosty midlands! i neglected my garden a lot last year so today spent 20 mins just clearing all the debris from around the snowdrops so they can be seen in all their glory

    I too have snowdrops, and winter aconites shining buttercup gold. :) The winter flowering honeysuckle has been scenting my front porch for two weeks now, and there are daffs and crocus and dog tooth violet shoots coming up :)

    Spring can't be far away! :j:j:j
    If I'm over the hill, where was the top?
