Saw my first daffodils in bloom today, mind you they are always out first in

later than Jan 1st in recent years. The ones in my gardem by contrast won't
be poking their heads up for ages yet, I wonder what it is that makes this
particular clump come out so early?

Whereabouts in South Devon, Andy? We saw a couple out in Ivybridge the
other day but ours won't be through for a while yet, either. We're in the
South Hams not far from Totnes. There are some varieties which are meant to
be very early so perhaps the ones you've seen are some of those. I don't
know which are the earlies, mind you!
