    Everywhere I look there are signs that spring is already on its way in my garden. :D

    I have snowdrops, crocus, daffs and euphorbia showing signs of new life to come.

    [​IMG] Omagod! You are such a show-off innit. Doesn't that look good! Congrats. It's really an unbelieveable time of year for that...in our zone, that anyway.
    I'm really happy for you--don't let them freeze now (fingers crossed)

    It's not warm at all Biita. :( In fact it's been, and is, one of the coldest winters we've had. Isn't nature wonderful though!!!! :D Usually my bulbs start to appear around the end of January/beginning of February.

    Some of my bulbs are also showing. The iris "Kathrine Hodgkin" is peeping up, as are snowdrops and crocus. I know they won't start for another two-three months, but they are there.

    Wow, i learned something new. I don't have many bulbs, just the ones that have been planted an established way before i even got here. Now that theres some light i'm going to have to see if i got some growing,,lol. I do know that each year around April the crocus, an ect come up but we don't see them until almost May.

    That's about 0 deg C, which is what we've been having for a very long time now. And lower. But still the spring bulbs are getting ready. Go outside and look bsewnsew! Good luck.
