An old Celtic celebration heralding the first stirrings of Spring. Just 6 weeks into the Spring Equinox, it’s time to prepare for the next growing season.

Every year I welcome the sea of snowdrops in our woods and the spread of little colonies up the garden – some are intentional, others are ‘volunteers’ ( I love that term for self-sown).

This week I cleaned the greenhouse and what a difference! I also ordered a bulk bag of compost/soil mix for new no dig beds in the orchard.

Despite the frost and chill I more ready for Spring than I’ve ever been.
