I have just heard that daffodils are in bloom on the West coast of Scotland!
At this time of the year the cold and damp weather can be depressing and the days seem long and dark. However most of us will have already noticed how the days are getting lighter. Only a month ago it was dark soon after 4pm but now it is well after 5pm.
In my garden the snowdrops have been out some time and the crocuses are now also out.
If you have a bit of garden perhaps now is the time to plan if you are going to grow anything this year. We have already sown some tomato seeds and are “chitting” the potatoes ready to plant about the end of March. Even the rhubarb is showing some signs of life.

The Spring will soon be with us.
