I hope you’re feeling better, soon! I was shocked last week to see daffodils popping up here. I’m in Charleston, South Carolina US so it’s not too early at all for them. But it takes me by surprise every year. Same with the camellias, although they did bloom much earlier this winter than last.
Poor you, I hope you feel better soon - as you say, the sunshine is making a huge difference to life. I planted Arctic Bells in pots (inspired but you last autumn) and they are shooting nicely. I think I also put some in the garden but I can't remember where. If they appear I'll send you a photo! happy new Year xSue
Thanks Sue - I'm hoping it goes away as quickly as it came on! That's great about the Arctic Bells, they look so fragile but seem to be quite tough. Happy new year to you too! Hope you had a good time x
Hi Michelle, welcome aboard! That’s great, I look forward to hearing how your onions do! It’s always useful to compare. I guess with spring bulbs, they get their leaves above ground to start assessing day light length properly, or simply start photosynthesising. In the past I probably notice them first when flowering. I need to start making a note of the date I first see them 😄

Happy new year from across the ocean! I don’t think I used to be surprised by them, perhaps it comes with getting older and years flying by faster 😄

Hooray! I don't think ours have germinated yet but you've prompted me to go and check... :)
