January 7th, is it just me or is spring here !!

Just noticed a daf bursting through the ground,  so I checked the hedge & we have green buds   Bit early for spring yet

We usually have some at that stage in early November!  They're fine though; they stop when the temperature drops and just pick up again where they left off in spring.

 

I'd worry if I didn't see daff shoots before Christmas.

May be I'm noticing more things as I get older , but certainly look strange for this time of year,

It has seemed a bit balmy when you get out of the wind recently.

It’s called a false dawn....

Def balmy in Suffolk at mo visiting in-laws after -8 in Aberdeenshire, where when we left the yard was polished ice and lethal, prob the same when we get home

Not unusual to have little periods of respite where bulbs and other indicators of spring show, means little.

It's the same every year give or take.  Laying a hedge the other day a few leaves were breaking.  They do every year.

Saw a solo Daf out in flower this afternoon (in wild), along with a few snowdrops

Definitely just you! 

 

Average temperature so far this month has been 1.7 celcius here near Edinburgh. It's minus 6 outside presently too!

No need to panic I avoided the bear traps and navigated the punji stick pits to grit the yard for your return
