I assume that the snowdrops are right underneath a yew tree, which makes it even more amazing that they are there. Not a lot grows under yews. They really must be tough little things despite looking so delicate, and it's nice to see proper English snowdrops rather than the much bigger and stronger Spanish ones that seem to be taking over. They seem to be going the way of tulips though, with some of the bulbs fetching ridiculous sums at over �200 for just one bulb. Our daffs are now coming out a treat, and we have some hyacinths out in the garden. They were potted ones that we put out, and that have come up every year ever since, but they get stragglier each year, so maybe now is the time to take them out and put something else in. I had hoped that my little pot of tulips was safe as it was well tucked behind some other pots, but the deer have still found it, so they are nibbled (or should that be nobbled?). David went a bit mad with the pruning shears last autumn so the forsythia hasn't any blossom on it, but it should come back next year with masses of blossom. We could do with a goat though, as we have brambles and all sorts come over and under the fence and are trying to take over one side of the garden. I suppose it keeps next door's cat away from the birds' nests in the shubbery though, and Madam does her best to keep the cat out of the garden anyway.
