Our first frog spawn today in Leeds

This March 2nd, compared with:

2002 March 5th
2001 March 12th

1999 March 13th

Otoh the crocuses, wallflowers and rosemary are later than they were
last year - crocuses and wallflowers by a couple of weeks, and the
rosemary still isn't in flower.

We had about 40 frogs on the paths leading to the pond last night.
This is a much larger number at any one time than last year, so that's
very heartening.
