Late January

Snowdrops are pretty where they appear, but they’re not increasing, and some clumps have died out.

Cyclamen hederifolium are doing well. Should I divide them and spread them around or let them get on with it?

I could do with some more ordinary Hellebores. The ones doing best at the moment are some pale picotee varieties which I don’t like so much.

I’ve seen a few frogs and one couple, but no frogspawn. Isn’t it rather late?
