Snowdrop Census - Final Week

Snowdrops & Daffodils - up the hill, yesterday
Back Garden - 195
Front Garden - 107
Side Garden - 408
Guerilla Garden - 444
GRAND TOTAL - 1154

Last year's total has been well exceeded, though most of the snowdrops are looking past their best now. It's as if they realise that the last month of winter is nearing its end and the first breath of spring is here. Next month the colour will definitely be yellow and the freshest of green.

  5. My two clumps! of snowdrops are going over now. My dad has made me an offer of more from his garden. Must get round there with my trowel, while they are still in the green! x

  6. Hi David and welcome back! Yes, there seems to have been a major shift towards Spring with the lighting and temperature this week :)

    Hi Joy - have you got over your chocothon yet? I bet you'll soon see the first signs of Spring over there too...

    Nessa - welcome back :)

    Starnitesky - I'm glad you've liked the series. It's been good to pin some of my diary notes around 1 of my regular activities at this time of the year. I was worried I might have bored you all though, so your positive feedback's much appreciated!

    Louise - get over to your dad's pronto. In the green and after a little bit of rain's the perfect time to get them in!

  7. What a lovely photo - full of sunshine. I am always sad to see the end of the snowdrops but the arrival of the daffodils means that spring is even nearer !

  8. Hi Anna,

    Yes, daffodils are just so cheerful, so you can't do anything other than smile :)

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.

If anyone is having problems leaving comments, do contact me on vegplotting at gmail dot com or @malvernmeet if a quick tweet is more convenient for you.

Thanks xxx

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.
