Any signs of spring?
Hazel catkins, cowslips, grape hyacinths, daffodils, hyacinths, magnolia stellata (just about to burst), periwinkles, violets (almost over), hellebores, flowering quince, grass growing at a rate of knots (but too wet to mow). But the colours don't seem as bright as they should, surrounded as they are by gloom.

.......and now the roadside banks are showing thousands of developing asphodels, which will flower at the beginning of May.

My glycine is in flower. On mine the first flowers appear before the leaves. My neighbour’s is always leaves first then flowers.

Pah to all of you. 
Today my garden was as neat as all of my neighbours' gardens. Well at least until the snow melted mid afternoon.

Our glycine has loads of flower buds but no leaves yet.
Our garden is certainly not neat ! The grass is full of daisies, and strange weeds with long tap roots. It would need an army to remove them by hand.
Since moving to this area, we've noticed that people love to cut their hedges and shrubs in a severe square bob, it's not a pretty sight to us. We do trim and/prune shrubs but prefer them to keep a more natural shape.
