In a week when the world has gone mad, again, I really need to garden to give me some balance. This week’s #SixonSaturday represents the hope I have for the near future, at least for the gardening season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First up are crocus. Despite hiding under 3 inches of snow on Thursday, and weathering 3 named storms in the last week, they are now fully flowering again, smiling in the sunshine.

Back to the garden now, with hazel catkins in full flower, the tiny red female flowers have finally started (top right).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will this be the last of the snowdrops as we stretch towards the end of February? They still look fantastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
