It's pretty darned cold in suvvern ingerland today, more like February than mid-April. Haven't dared plant anything other than spuds and onions this year. Trees are coming into leaf nicely, though, so all we need is a few warm days and nature will go VROOOMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!! *

I really miss the snow
Ever since I moved from 'up north' I've not seen a decent amount of snow.
This year I barely even bothered to put the heating on.That sounds like a classic case of premature extrapolation.
