paulus 26 Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 The Starlings are feeding young in the wall of the house two doors down. There was the biggest Bumble in the shed yesterday afternoon. The strange thing is it may feel like spring but the water table is still ridiculously high. If you walk on the grass you sink four inch into the ground, Never seen it this bad but each year it is getting worse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Arry 21,839 Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 Spring is well on. Went up the coast a bit to Dawlish today and as we drove through the town the Black Swans had tiny signets. There are some rape seed fields starting to flower across the Teign valley. Magpies building couldn't get a good picture with my phone. The Black Thorn is flowering everywhere. Hawthorn has bud burst. Alexanders which I call stink weed flowering and the Bees are loving it. Supposed to be good to eat but the smell put me off.

Cheers Arry nice pics arry, by the calendar here it is officially classed as spring today, but in reality we don't plant any veg in the garden until the second week in may, last year we put the runners/carrots etc. in, in the beginning of may and lost the lot with a big frost...it's also hard to prepare the veggy garden before hand as the ground is still frozen, my wife starts things off early in the potting greenhouse to get a head start which has worked out best....
