Dare I say it, is it really nearly spring? We’ve had a spell of mild weather this week, with some sunshine. I’ve not been able to contain my excitement, and neither have the plants. Here’s a hopeful and colourful #SixonSaturday. First up, the Autumn raspberries have had their annual haircut and a dressing of almost rotted horse manure. Bring on the fruit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At LAST, after so many other Sixers have been showing off, I have some really stunning little crocus to feast my eyes one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
