Spring?

Yes, it really is coming. Well, I think it is. It is going to be very interesting with the early planting this year. The soil is still really cold, and it is not easy to grow plants on, never mind plant up flower beds at the moment. The soil is cold, wet and dank. Which makes the sight of the snowdrops all the more welcome. I have even spotted a few early daffodils - just up the allotments near the roundabout going into Blandford off the Salisbury road. They are always the first ones up. My tulips have put their heads above the parapet but the daffodils most certainly have not.
