It's Starting to Feel Like Spring

Days like today, where the sun shines and the breezes are balmy, can easily deceive us into thinking that spring has arrived early.  The garden is certainly acting as if spring has sprung.

Yet before I start planting with too much enthusiasm I have to remind myself that freezing, wet weather could be just around the corner.

Your garden is ahead of mine! Actually I don't blame it as we had almost a foot of snow last week. This time of year is so exciting. The neighbours will soon see me head down, bottom up, peering at tiny shoots popping up as I do my daily inspections. XXX

Hi Poppy, I'm exactly the same at this time of the year, conducting daily inspections looking for tiny changes.
