Am I the only one scouring the garden daily for signs of new growth? We had days of heavy rain followed by a cold snap but just now the weather is dryer with strong winds. I shouldn’t complain about the rain as last year I lost more plants in the summer drought than I did in the winter frosts.

I’m looking forward to the soil warming up to carry out the edits I want to make and plant up around the refurbished pond. I hope the frogs will recognise the spot when they return in February.
Which plants are you looking forward to peeping through ?
