And we are thankful for them in dreary February! We crept back into the garden again on Monday morning for an hour or two of tidying up, it was exciting to note the differences that have occurred since we were last there over a month ago, and a joy to greet the very first spring flowers. We still have a long way to go before we can breath easier over the weather but these little beauties reaffirm that winter will not last for ever.
Then we returned to the woods with this years crop of new trees to plant, quickly filling up all the spaces we created in January with oak, lime, hazel, beech, hornbeam, euonymus, blackthorn and cherry. If only they would grow quickly enough for us to see them in their prime!
"The flowers of late winter and early spring occupy places in our hearts well out of proportion to their size"
