MORE SIGNS OF SPRING


Yesterday I found these daffodils poking through the soil and there are more clumps just coming through elsewhere.
Some alliums, too...



The goldfish are awake - nice mossy plant pot on the pond shelf...

More daffs poking through the browned oak leaves. The piece of pipe in the top right hand corner is copper. I banged it (or Gillian did) into the stump of a lilac tree which we'd cut down, too big and in the wrong place. Copper will kill any woody plant which isn't wanted but it takes some time.
And the first primrose!

I didn't know a piece of copper pipe could kill a plant like that. The things we learn from reading blogs! :)

Hi Kate, You never know what you'll find, blogs are a real 'lucky dip'.
