My Acer puerperium has new buds forming and the Acaia I bought at the end of last year has new growth on the ends of the branches. The snowdrops' noses are through and most of the unpruned perenials are breaking into growth deep down in their crowns so Spring is definitely stirring.
I've been trying to get out and give the clumps a high potash feed but it's been far too wet lately.
My snowdrops thrive on neglect. Tough love. Just a natural covering of autumn leaves. Water in the summer may be the best thing, but they don't even get that.
I bet I come near the bottom of forum chemical users.

I just went out onto our driveway, and came across this little ray of sunshine. Far too early in the year, but adds a bright splash of colour to the drabness.

First day in the garden since Xmas. I don't blame the weather 100%.
Bog standard single snowdrop. Surprising what a small patch of sunlight can achieve.
Crocus tom. If you look hard you can see many more to come.
Hellebore. I think "wild". But certainly wildish.

I wonder.
But was your cryptic comment really necessary? It cetainly felt neither friendly nor helpful.
