Ours is more than overdue for it but the ground has been too wet -
drying
out now, though. The grass hasn't stopped growing at all this

First crocus in flower yesterday

Some spcies crocuses (forgot which) just getting into flower high up
in Wensleydale.
Tomorrow I will have to go and see if any of my not perfectly hardy
herbaceous perennials need protection, as the forecast for the weekend
is for a real cold spell, including possible snow.
