What I have learned today, thanks to Aster2 - the difference between Civil, Nautical and Astronomical twilights. I didn't even know they all existed! Thanks, Aster2.
I am still staring out of the window at an expanse of mud although I try to get down to the bottom of the garden to check on the snowdrops in my little patch of woodland from time to time. Bluebells are coming through strongly too and the black willow sapling I planted next to the stream is about to burst into catkins - lovely!
Spring has definitely sprung in my corner of Kent this morning, not just optimistic weather but buds everywhere on beginning to open. My Virginia creeper is showing red tips, my alliums are robust, my tulips are all up in the early varieties and my group 2 Clematis are going nuts quite frankly
time to get out there and pollard the Eucalyptus and start tying stuff in

You are welcome, Oneofseven!

Spring is springing. I like February.

P. S I keep forgetting to mention, there is definite new shoots on my iris
It really is the most exciting time of year, isn't it?
About 1/3 of new border done. Aiming to finish by next Monday - nothing like a bit of optimism.
