It's very cold

The snow and ice have continued throughout the week but a thaw has started today.

Despite the cold weather, the Corylus avellana has early catkins and Jasinum nudiflorum has leaves starting to appear.

I have used the time indoors to sort out seeds I've saved including this Calendula seed. I gathered them from the flowers at the environmental centre so that we can do some seed sowing with children next spring.
