February has been a quiet month with not much happening in the garden. Everyone is waiting for spring.The weather has been awful - grey, dark snowy and rainy. I think the animals are as fed up as I am.
The only things flowering are the snowdrops. They seed themselves every year and have grown over a large area.
The only good thing about this weather is that it has driven the deer into the garden, even in daytime to search for food. They come right up to the house and it has been wonderful watching them. They are eating things that they would never normally eat, such as heather. I guess they are desperate.
It is now official that this has been the worst winter for more than 30 years in this area. In other parts of the UK, it has been even worse.
I hope that no damage has been done to the plants and that everything will spring into life when it warms up a bit.
