Snow, Daffs & Frogspawn

The little Tete A Tetes that I bought last year have sprung up again. They seem to have come up almost overnight despite the changeable weather we are having. The Tete A Tetes planted in the ground are doing just as well but I think this is the first year I have photographed daffodils in the snow (well wet slush really!)
The picnic table had a dusting of snow this morning. We have never put our wooden garden furniture away in the winter, it has never seemed necessary, but it is a very good job that HG treated it last year!
The frogs have done their business and the little pond is full of spawn. We have placed some plastic netting over it for the time being to try to protect it from predators.

I can't wait for spring to come properly :-) I love the time of year when you can come home from work and sit or work for just half an hour in the garden :-) We have some yellow primulas out, but they have already been attacked by birds - a small price to pay.

Your daffodils are more advanced that ours. Can't wait to get some more colour in our garden.

Dear Chris,
I so love seeing your daffodils. Mine are just starting to show. The snows finished melting this aftrnoon. It has been a cold wet winter for us too. Spring is winking!
Happy Spring,

These lovely daffodils are easy to care. I have planted them many years ago and they reproduce well. Actually they are not yet blooming....but soon...I hope :-) !
Enjoy Spring!
