snowdrops

The days are lengthening.
One sure sign is that snowdrops seem to have suddenly sprung up in the past few days of mild weather. These were photographed on a circular walk through Newstead Abbey this afternoon.

Soon will be time to plant shallots into pots so that their roots are well-established before going into the ground. Also need to sow early peas Feltham First and sweet peas.

We're getting there.
