It’s still cold and the garden appears dead – until you look
closely. Some of the tulips have poked
their noses out. Next door the snowdrops
are already blooming.
In the pond the marsh marigolds are beginning to leaf out
and in the garden the rose stalks are starting to show green.
It’s those small things that raise hope in the minds of
gardeners – those things that prove that life is beginning despite the cold
temperatures.
And, as the picture attests, the Whaterveritis has
started.
