Oooh, lucky you.
Tulips are poking their greenery above ground too now as are the big potted daffs I planted....and a couple of self seeded sweet peas. The daphne that I was given over the winter...its buds look aching to open...faint pink and my nose is ready to smell it. The other bulbs I planted haven't shown...some daffs and snowdrops on verges.0 -
We've got a few daffodil shoots surfacing, and 2 or 3 snowdrops appeared under our apple tree last year, and am really hoping they survived the winter and hopefully multiplied.0

Its our first spring in our house, we moved in October. We have been spending a few hours each weekend trying to clear all of the dead plants from over the winter-the last owner let the garden get a bit wild sadly. However, there are literally hundreds of shoots coming up that we have uncovered. We have 4 clumps of snowdrops already flowering and I suspect the other bulbs will be mainly daff's, although some don't look the same-it will be lovely to see how the garden develops. We also have a single primrose too!0
