Spotted these today...  I just popped them in the pot last year until I decided where to put them and then I forgot to put them anywhere! |

Something has but there are an awful lot of mice at the bottom of the garden - or the same mouse popping up all over the place I suppose ;D Something has been eating the hellebores and nothing eats helllebore leaves  |

They should be frozen underground at this time of the year.

Nothing has been frozen underground or in the ground this year (apart from snowdrops in Oxford  ;D) I had to pop out and look where my leucojum were planted, and there is no sign of them, but some eejit had put the empty pumpkin pots over where they were planted Moved them now  I spotted two flowers on the jasmine officinale by the back door and there are dwarf iris with buds forming today though x Tig |

Did I tell you that I had two Iris retic. that actually flowered, then got nibbled so the flower heads flopped? I can't imagine what would do that - apart from snails???

I'm sure it is snails Geranium, some of mine always get attacked like that every year i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/angry.gif I've got a couple out that luckily have escaped attention for the moment. .jpg) This is George, always have to plant a few every year in remembrance of a very dear cat we used to have.  Some of last years that I only found when I was planting up this years Winter pots. Jillyx |

That's so strange, given that we're quite close. I've got quite a few nearly ready to flower but my Snowdrops are only just now showing their noses.

I was just thinking how odd it was Jilly. I can almost understand from one side of the country to the other but we are so close.

How lovely Jasmine, I really like that bank of yours. I'm sure I'm not the only one looking forward to seeing more. ;D

Thank you LG. I was just thinking how much the other daffs had sprouted in the sunshine we had today - roll on spring!

You're right Amber! Oddly enough though my first Sailboat has been out as early as January 18th in past years (not the 2 past years though).
