Huzzah!

@Hellybootwader
Nice! I planted crocus this year but they’re still buried under a ton of snow. Does Scotland get snow?

@Hellybootwader Don't let them been seen by the blackbirds!

@Pinchy63 hi, yes, we get snow, there’s not been much here this winter but further north has had more.
Good luck for your crocus!

@Irisfreundin the blackbirds don’t seem to bother with them, there’s still berries on the bushes and when it gets cold/frozen I put out some apples for the blackbirds. The are busy digging up worms and grubs when it’s clear & unfrozen soil.

@Hellybootwader Here the male blackbirds (merls) hit yellow crocus flowers not to eat but to destroy them. There was speculation that they view them as enemies because they are the same color as their beaks.

@Irisfreundin we have a couple of resident blackbirds in our garden, maybe they are secure in their manly-ness (!)

@Hellybootwader Likewise hope yours lasts. There’s a sunny icon on my weather app for next Saturday.

@Hellybootwader
So cheerful!

@Broadfork it’s raining again already. Glad I was able to get out while the sun was briefly shining.

@Hellybootwader Might as well make the most of it. It’s rained on and off all day. There were some soggy doggies this afternoon.
