It was dry and sunny on Monday so I took a look round the plot after lunch.

The red stems and crinkly leaves of the rhubarb are just starting to appear above ground.

It’s always good to see the self-seeded Collomia grandifloria seedlings. In the early spring, once they’ve grown, I’ll replant some so that they’re all together.

The English Daisy (Bellis perennis) has been flowering all winter, with one or two flowers showing at any one time.
Monday’s good weather didn’t continue and it’s been mostly damp and dull since then. The weekend is looking dismal with the feels like temperature on Saturday being around 0 C, then sleety for most of Sunday and a degree or two colder.
Here’s a sunflower from September 2012.

Have a good weekend, and take care!
It’s always heartening to see new growth at the very start of the growing season, spring can’t be too far away now and that means it will be all systems go again soon.
