Spring in Scotland??

spring has sprung! 018.JPG

 

The snowdrops are coming through already?  Isn't this still the second week of January or did I hibernate for a while?    Normally they don't even think about starting up until the end of Feb, maybe it's because we are usually under a couple feet of snow and I don't see them!    Anyone else having things popping up that shouldn't be already?

Count the campfires by glowing flames, never by the ashes that fall. Count your days by the golden hours, don't remember clouds at all. Count the nights by stars, not by shadows. Count your life by smiles, not by tears. And with joy on every birthday, count your age by friends-not years.

Helen: Daria, do you have to look at everything in such a negative light?

Daria: Could you possibly be referring to the harsh light of reality?

Hi, from the other Scotland (AR, USA). We seem to be a little  ahead too. My daffodils are about one inch tall already, and I have volunteer lettuce coming up in my garden. It is too early for either.The daffies should come up in late February for a March bloom, but they seem to come earlier and earlier every year.

Waiting on Spring.

Is the heather blooming yet, or does that start later?  What a neat plant in so many different varieties. love.gif

Same here in France.  Last year the whole country was at or below freezing for weeks in December.  This year, I've had frost a the farm (1400 ft) only twice.  Camelias in full bloom, buds on all the fruit trees, birds migrating back north...just crazy.  When it finally hets here, it will cost the fruit growers alot of money I fear.
