Spring-Watch around the world

Sceala Clann T.D.

Can you wait for Spring to arrive? I'm wishing time away so it'll come faster.

I usually cotton on late to things and the latest thing that's dawned on me is that winter is natures breathing space for me to get my garden into some semblance of order before the mad growing starts again!

So for once I've managed to weed everywhere, clip everything down that needs to be clipped down, painted rampant growing ivy and russian vine with poison, sort out my mountain of a compost heap and I'm all set for SPRING.

I've hung fat balls and toast slice shaped fat/nut/fruit things off the arch to my garden and also put a wire ball thing with loose fleece in it hanging off the arch (for birds to use for nesting). So far I've just had (please resist saying anything about this!!) Great Tits coming to eat the stuff I put out and a robin following me around the garden eating (what must be) microscopic things out of the soil cos I can't see anything there. Oh yeah and a cat that sits on the garden wall and walks up along it depending on where I am in the garden so she's sitting over where I am like a blinkin supervisor.

A few weeks and my garden will be rocking with life!

Plus there's that damn grey squirrel still. He's now nesting INSIDE the roof of the house that backs on to my garden. So he can see the food I put out from the comfort of his blinkin bed.

Has spring arrived where you are yet?
