My potted Rhubarb has got going at last ... It's about to get top-dressed & weeded.

[It's up there to keep it away from the wildlife - mainly rabbits - that ate other crowns to death in previous winters].

SoS[26] - open at last ! [Explored]

Inforgraphic from the UK's Met Office, pointing out how the daylight hours increase over March.

I live to the west of Newcastle, so I estimate that there will be about 2 hours 15 minutes "extra" daylight by the end of the month.
[and, hopefully, both warmer and calmer weather !]

Just one of the drifts of snowdrops showing that it is spring here.
There are several large patches of naturalised Galanthus on the garden - after flowering has finished, a few more will get moved into the wildwood.

This bank of daffodils in Carlisle are usually early to show, and some are already flowering - despite a bit of a battering from recent wet & windy weather.
The wall behind basically holds up the railway, and makes this area quite a sun-trap ...

At last ! a sign of spring I've been waiting to see - Lambs !

Farm very close to Birdoswald had a few ewes and their lambs pottering in the field in front of the farmhouse - rather "rough" grazing, with all that sedge !
Spotted as we drove past this afternoon - on a personal diversion as the main road was too busy & had temporary traffic lights with long queues ...
