Spring’s In My Garden!

You’d be forgiven for thinking that winter has not yet abandoned
the UK, what with the frosty mornings and murky grey skies we’ve
been experiencing the last few weeks. However, the signs are out that Spring is with us, subtle for the most part, the new leaves are on the Willow – that earlier risers of the deciduous trees, there are pockets of colour on the verges from the flowering spring bulbs, buds are burgeoning on bush and tree. A brighter shade of green can be seen creeping across the grass lawns and meadows, blossoms dot the cherry trees and the gorse bush shines with the first flush of its golden glory.

My back garden is no exception to the rule, in fact it seems that in my garden Spring is in full force. The bulbs my Dad planted for me back in November have shot up from their sleepy beds in a riot of shapes, colours and shades. Below are a few pics I took of the tulips, crocus and narcissus that are now growing strong in the face of the frosty mornings and murky days in my little back garden.

If you find yourself getting down during the cold and murky weather take a moment to really look around and see those signs that Spring is alive all about you and remember that summer is just around the corner, especially seeing as we’ve just past the vernal equinox!
