Well, by that all I mean is that there are many dots of dark green shoots poking through the long border. The solitary snowdrop has been joined by several others of varying sizes and there are chunkier bulbs pushing though. Although we've had plenty of rain promised for this week I have managed to get out today and take off any rose leaves with signs of black spot, as mentioned on Gardener's Question Time this afternoon. They said it could be done but probably only by people who had nothing better to do with their lives! What a cheek. Well, as there isn't much more I can do in the garden right now it's no hardship to de-leaf the roses and as always, the work done early on will pay dividends later in the season.
Yesterday, whilst I was at work, Luke noticed a dark shape near the deck and looked out to see a brazen Sparrowhawk on the bird bath! Before he could grab his camera there was a whoosh and it was gone.
I may have missed the Sparrowhawk but we both got to check out the Buzzard in the oak tree behind our garden. Here he is.
