There's definitely a sense that things are starting to green up in the garden, though only just managing to outpace the slugs. I went out with a torch one evening in the week, it's a bit dispiriting to see so many. Chionodoxa have lost almost every bud before they opened and Polygonatum were getting mauled.…
Six things happening in the garden eh, how about rain, rain, rain, rain, rain and more rain. I'm grateful I still have a garden, not a river or lake. Actually it's bright sunshine just now, but ten minutes ago it was sleeting. The garden is wet and windswept but by degrees it's waking up from…
