Have you started yet?

[nick the grief]

As I waited for the Coach that takes me to work I noticed a starling going into a tree & there was a noise that sounded like Chicks shouting for breakfast!!!

You can bet your bottom dollar your wee red breasted pal will be back each and every time you lift a spade - and they are very brave - and greedy and will not let any other birds near you whilst they think they can get a free feed. They look very pleasant but they are tough little cookies, very aggressive and territorial - have bben known to fight other robins to the death

I've only seen one robin the garden at any one time - so maybe it's the same one and this is their territory...cool!

As I was rotavating my plot the other Sunday, I was followed up and down by mum and dad blackbird, they were just having a feast. Glad I don't live near the coast, be dodging seagulls or alternatively, wear a big hat!!!!!

well? is it spring yet? I think its almost spring here, the bats are back and things are definitely greening up. clematis montana is only budding though, and I drove past one in London today which was fully in blossom. daffs are on their way out, tulips havent flowered yet, wallflowers are halfway there...
and its almost the end of April!!

My bats are back too - and my Clematis montana is also just breaking into bud - and none of my tulips have flowered yet - are you my neighbour

Spring has definately arrived in West Dumbarton. The bees are out, the bats are out and the butterflies are in evidence. Saw a peacock yesterday. Everything is growing and it's possible to go outdoors in comfort. The whole world smells different.

My montana is bud too and my daffodils are romping away, the tete a tete are dying back, the rhubarb is crashing on in this rain and loving it and the weeds are making an appearance.

[Birdie Wife]

My winter flowering heathers are in full flower!!

But also my daffs are finally breaking out, dwarf cherry just on the verge of flowering and the slugs are back. I'd say Spring is testing the waters with one cold toe.

Think it's just about arrived here as the slugs are up & munching everything!

[andrewo]

They really attacked my new lovage, most annoyed.

[fruit&vegvirgin]

bindweed is here. definitely spring!

Well spring is definately here in Stockport. Buds and leaves are on trees, daffodills and tulips have already bloomed and been cut for the house before they die off and frog spawn has hatched and grown into bigish tadpoles - not got their back legs yet though.

It's also spring in East Anglia acording to my folkes who still live there. I voted in the poll for East Anglia first but couldn't vote again for the NW so you'll just have to take my word for it about Stockport. If it carries on like this we'll get a heat wave - I've jinxed it now haven't I?

Spring has also definitely arrived in Burton. I spent several hours yesterday digging creeping buttercup out of my flowerbeds.

I too suffer from creeping buttercup but when I dig it out I'm not , I'm
