Got home at last this weekend and I am very happy to see the daffs and hyacinths in the garden. I also have a mauve double primrose that is small but spectacular. Probably an indication of the surprises to come if I'm lucky. The garden has been gradually revealing itself as the ground warms up. We got to work this morning to take down the netting that had covered the pond area as a start to its rehabilitation. Heavy snow and tree branches weighed the netting down in the winter until it pulled down part of the fence surrounding the pond. Bob's view is here in his Flickr photos. What you can't see is the healthy population of frogs!
