Snow, rain, sleet, wind - and that was just this morning - now the sun is shining but it is so wet I dare not go out there - still, pretty to look at until it gets dark. Bulbs are popping up all over the place, love those long straight green leaves even if I can't remember what I put where - and anyway, all the plans went awry when we dug up a bed with its bulbs and they had to go somewhere - anywhere there was a space between two bulbs already there that could take the one I had in my hand!! Disorganised chaos it will be, and lovely for all that. Of course, this assumes that they don't all rot with the wet.
Breaks my heart to think of all those poor people who are flooded and don't look like getting anything better anytime soon.
Edd. We have had a lot of rain and wind this jan/Feb more than I can remember since i was a kid. Snow on and off all day to-day. Got fed up looking out at it so i sowed seeds in the unheated propagators I got in Lidl. Onions Leeks Cabbage and Brocolli. Now dont feel so bad about weather.
Last year we went from Winter in May to Summer in June, no sign of that Spring guy.
So envious of you guys being able to burn prunings! I was burning a few twigs (literally, and in an incinerator) when wah wah wah........... The fire brigade! Quite nasty they were too. Came for my neighbour last year. We don't live in a built up area either. In Ireland, where we are not renowned for environmental prominence. My fear would be being made to pay for the fire trucks visit. Now that would be nasty!
hi Hester I'm about 1 hour down the M7 from the red cow. know how you feel about not being able to burn things. Nothing like a good bonfire to clear out garden rubbish.
That's a little harsh - last day of May we just about finish winter, and get a good month before Autumn arrives
My ex partner was fond of a good burning. He lived in a village - not even semi rural really - and never had any problems. It must depend totally where you live and what council policies are.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
We had frost this morning, then high winds and monsoon like rain, followed by hail then snow, then back to rain the gorgeous sunshine! Of course the ground is in such a state I couldn't do anything but nice to have some sun.

Snow on the hills here with sleet most of the afternoon and a frosty start but the bulbs are coming through.
