These
shots show the late arriving snow drops did survive my replanting
attempts from last year. I had forgotten where I had replanted them,
so been waiting for them to pop up! In the tub, possibly in a second
tub, and the ground near the rose arch base I have spotted what might
be snowdrops - and this recent flowering has proven that at least one
patch was a correct guess.
The
only work I did in the yard during the first two weeks of February
was to pick up some fallen sticks and twigs and pile them up near the
broken bird box and crate. I think we have a hedgehog hibernating in
the former birdbox, so I was careful when I placed them around to make
sure it could get out gain after its zzz.
During
the last few days of February, I took another look about - snowdrops
still doing well, kitchen windowsill tubs sprouted new batches of
parsley/coriander and 'something', and camellia still will buds and
1-2 flowers.
March
has now arrived - also spring. The frogs have been 'at it' in the
pond, croaking and egging away over the past 4-5 days. We appear to have a minimum of 8 frogs - possibly around a dozen.
As
you can see from the last shot, they have totally taken over the pond
lily patch - I have managed to rescue a few plants and replace them
at the side of the pond, but many disappeared under the eggs or got
shot off to other pond areas...
