The bluebells are up by a good couple of inches. I don't remember them ever sprouting in January.

Yes, mine are up too, as are the daffodils. And I've never heard so much birdsong in January :)

I reckon the bluebells will be fine. OH reckons you could drop a bomb on them and they'd still grow back every year!  :lol:

Catkins are well out here, and we have orange Berberis flowering too!

Amazing!

I found a couple of white strawberries yesterday on the plot while cutting all the dead leaves off.

We had a really hard frost last night, but oddly enough last year's flat leaved parsley and a few remnants of spring onion are looking quite perky.

Wasn't sure whether to put this in GYO, General Gardening or Chatting, as no doubt there will be some overlap.

If put it in GYO as I'm kicking it off with that subject. I mentioned in another thread a neighbouring plot holder having 1' high peas in flower. Here they are. Anybody else got something well in advance?

Photos not necessary, but always an advantage!



These are now dead, killed by the frosts a week or so ago.  :(

The self-sown summer broad beans and peas in the unheated gh are still fine here, but there is worse to come, so I heard.

The celery is giving in now.

Our celery is still Ok inside the outer stems, but not for much longer I think
