Well the weather is still cold but I notice that birds now have
nesting material in their beaks and when separating a rhubarb today,
there are faint stirrings in the all sorts of things amongst the
perennial veg.
Not too long now till Spring (I hope).


Looks like being early here too, the birds are all getting frisky, the
butcherbirds are calling (beautiful) and the swallows fly in to inspect the
interior of the shed for nesting potential whenever the door is open.

A couple of asparagus spears have popped already. So far no fruit trees
have flowered which is good as there wouild be a big risk of a late frost.
