If you are anything like me you are itching to get in the
garden. As soon as the new year starts I pace the garden every day looking for
new growth. This year the unusually warm winter has produced quite a few
surprises. Some of our Hellebores and Eranthus (winter aconite) started flowering before
Christmas and the snowdrops and crocus are in full flower several weeks earlier than
normal.
