Signs of Spring

1st April 2020J Twigge

As you look around you will be seeing nature beginning to wake up from its long Winter sleep.  What can you see in your garden?  Blossoms in the trees, buds, bluebells, crocuses, birds returning and even daffodils.

A little while ago in Nursery we looked and some instructions to tell us how to plant and care for daffodil bulbs.  We followed the instructions, watered and cared for the bulbs and took them home.

How are your daffodils growing?
