Everywhere I look there are signs that spring is already on its way in my garden. 
I have snowdrops, crocus, daffs and euphorbia showing signs of new life to come.

Just couldn't resist a little brag Sjoerd!!!  It's been soooo frosty lately that I really didn't think there be signs of spring quite yet. I'm so chuffed.

It's not warm at all Biita.  In fact it's been, and is, one of the coldest winters we've had. Isn't nature wonderful though!!!! Usually my bulbs start to appear around the end of January/beginning of February.

Some of my bulbs are also showing. The iris "Kathrine Hodgkin" is peeping up, as are snowdrops and crocus. I know they won't start for another two-three months, but they are there.

Wow, i learned something new. I don't have many bulbs, just the ones that have been planted an established way before i even got here. Now that theres some light i'm going to have to see if i got some growing,,lol. I do know that each year around April the crocus, an ect come up but we don't see them until almost May.

That's about 0 deg C, which is what we've been having for a very long time now. And lower. But still the spring bulbs are getting ready. Go outside and look bsewnsew! Good luck.
