Happy First day of March everyone, yeah, we got there !
Yesterday -- all of a sudden, a local hedge of Blackthorn popped its little
green leaves and tiny white flower buds ..... did my heart good to see, ;D

Has anyone else noticed that large amount of Blackthorn blossom there is this year, appears to be much more than normal - wonder if its anything to do with having had a hard winter.
-
yes I noticed that as well. think it is one of those old folklore thing that as long as the blackthorn is in bloom winters not finished yet. I suppose it goes with the one "never cast a clout till may is out. month or flower do you think? could be both

in North West Leicestershire our Blackthorn was nearly 2 months late.
Hawthorn only came out 10 days ago!
Rowan blossom almost gone already :-(
The sun last week has everything trying to catch up a month's growth in a week! Scary.
