March
My brain declares that nothing is happening in the garden in the cold, wet, dank days of March. Ah, but the brain can lie. After taking a couple hundred photographs this weekend I see that. Buds are swelling, bees are out, birds are collecting nesting materials and it really and truly is spring. The exciting time is nearly here! A spell of unseasonably warm (and very welcome) weather hit us last week and prompted the garden's wake up. OK, let's explore the March garden. Ribes sanguineum 'White Icicle' with a visiting bumble bee. The arctostaphylos have also had a lot of visiting bumbles recently.
