Musing on gardening and life in the heart of rural Wiltshire. Well, erm Chippenham actually...

Snowdrop census - week 1
Front Garden - 33
Side Garden - 30
Guerilla Garden - 30
GRAND TOTAL - 144
Last year's maximum - 1069, still some way to go then!
The double snowdrops in the back garden are beginning to show - I'll post a picture as soon as they're in bloom. I also found some strawberries in flower and daisies on the public land next to the house.

Hi, let's start a conversation - right here, right now! If you have a question, I'll also endeavour to get back to you over at your place.

My general policy re comments
I value genuine commenters for the conversation they bring. Those aiming to link back and give credence to commercial websites (thankfully rare) will be removed.
Blog posts are kept open for your Comments for as long as possible - for at least 3 months. I've reluctantly taken the decision if a post comes in for a sp@m attack after that time, I'll remove its Comments facility. I've found genuine comments are rarely left after 3 months, but dozens of sp@m comments are :( Removing these takes away the joy that a genuine comment might be left one day.
I love snow drops, so love reading about yours, but have awhile to see any yet... (Patience! I don't have much.)
ReplyDeleteAdded you in "blogs to visit" -- I hope you don't mind. It is because when I came back to check for replies you had! Thank you! I can see why someone awarded you with a friendly blog nod.
Strawberries in flower!! Wow, thats early. Mine are still well and truely asleep.
ReplyDeleteThanks Wildside, that's great! I've got you in my Google Reader, so I'll be stopping by from time to time...
ReplyDeletePaul & Melanie - what's the betting a frost will come and knock those strawberry flowers for 6?
one snowdrop! that's all there is. I'm pretty sure it those squirrels! the clematis however has two buds and are about to open!
ReplyDeleteHi anonymous! Maybe some more have appeared by now? They have a habit of suddenly appearing out of nowhere! I'm envious of your Clematis buds though
