This morning we awoke to sleet, snow and rain and it has been dreary and cold all day. But the days are already getting longer and the garden is showing signs of Spring approaching. Snowdrops and narcissus are out and the daphne has been in flower for a couple of weeks already.

Last week we had some really cold nights, down to -5C or so, and as a result the plants around the golf course looked lovely, and we had beautiful blue skies.

The birds are being fed twice a day. We have discovered that it is the magpies that are eating the fat balls so quickly. They knock them onto the ground and then eat the whole lot!

Time to start thinking about veg seeds and what we are going to try and grow this year. It amazes me when I read or hear that there's nothing to do and nothing happening in the garden at this time of the year - its all going on!
