22nd January

A success to report is the spring bulbs. We now have the promising multiple leaves of bluebells coming through in various places, a number of crocuses, and even a few early tulips are showing, and lots of daffodils. For a while they looked like little green duck bills pointing to the sky but now they are about 2-3 inches high and looking like they will open up. They have a way to go yet though and they always seem to take longer than their early start would suggest. Some of the narcissi have flower buds at the top, but surely they can’t come out quite yet can they? Well, they can. There are a few sights around the place with daffodils in bloom, I just hope they are not killed off by more frosts. You can see how the soil is warmer nearer the house as it is that end of the border that has the higher and denser growth. It really fades away as you go from the house.
