A few signs of spring
Despite our mild winter, we seem to have few flowers in bloom in our garden. Neighbours' daffodils have been blooming for several weeks, yet we don't have a single one! However, I can report two crocuses, three Iris reticulata and several varieties of Helleborus brightening the borders.
The one surprise has been a sighting of several frogs in the pond a few days ago - earlier by at least two weeks than in previous years.
