Can we say spring has begun ?

[PAULW]

The roof auto vent opened yesterday so it must be warm in the greenhouse

Yesterday was glorious and today has started bright and sunny.

The daffs and tulips are coming through, the crosuses are flowering in the tubs and pots and round the trees.

Yesterday morning at 9 it was -3, about half an hour ago, when I opened up, it was -6.

there's a collared dove in my front garden, collecting twigs & scraps for nest-making. They've started cooing at five in the morning too (oh joy )


Two female blackbirds trying to fight to the death over possession of the shrub in my front garden

Two daffs in blossom for the past week, and they are outdoors.
Leaves are opening on my plum tree.
Crocuses are also in bloom.
Weather mind and sunny, all good signs for the coming of spring.

Wow, you're ahead of us Bramble! Bulbs poking through two weeks ago, but been under snow for nearly two weeks, so I think they've gone back to sleep!

There are buds on several of my Dad's trees, hundreds of Rabbits around Pigeons and Doves everywhere, really noisy Woodpecker down the end of the lane, and as for fighting Blackbirds, I should sell tickets lol!

I think spring is on its way

Ooooh, just remembered, my Mum found the dead body of an old, dark grey fox across the front field at the weekend, so hopefully my Chooks are a little safer now. The old dear had been patrolling this area for years!

[allotmentlady]

my snowdrops are finally appearing!

[RedThorn]

Tulips, daffodils, crocuses and snowdrops up but not yet flowering.....

[rogesse]

The daffs are up and OH said this morning that he could smell spring in the air - probably getting a cold!

We don't get doves around here just flying rats who have been making the worst racket since november although I will admit they have been getting more insistant this last week(and seemingly earlier,approx 5am)

I'm all out of sorts - I missed winter. Because of family problems I've spent the time in a country that only does 3 seasons; spring, summer (severe drought) and wet - I got wet.
I would miss our defined seasons - suprisingly (or not) a lot of british expats I spoke to said the same

... Easter eggs in the shops!

[BilboWaggins]

First lambs seen near Loweswater last week

[Jenegade]

Our Snowdrops are all up and flowering, tulips and daffs up as weel, but no flowers yet! Lots of new buds breaking open on the trees though, spring will be here soon!!

[Alice]

It's just gorgeous here today. Lovely warm sunshine.
The snowdrops are flowering. The daffs and tulips are well up.
The sparrows are trying to kill each other.
The pigeons are doing show off arial acrobatics.
Guess they think it's spring.

[Claire72]

feels like spring here too, but would like it to stay at this level for a few days so that I can clear the winter weeds, before the spring ones grow!!!!

[BrideXIII]

Crocus and snowdrops in full bloom.
rest of the bulbs are pushing through all round the borders.
cold grey and windy today though, yesterday was lovely and smelled of spring!!!

[Two_Sheds]

I picked my first bunch of wallflowers (Blood Red)
