Working outside this afternoon I noticed that there were a few snowdrops coming into flower from the ones I'd planted a year ago at the base of the hazels. They were supposed to have been supplied 'in the green' but the first lot were a disgusting brown mush, having rotted in the post and the replacements weren't much better but I planted them anyway. It's lovely to see something has survived from such unpromising beginnings. The farm was so devoid of flowers when we came here that each time I plant something and it's successful I feel I am contributing to what's here for the future.
