This morning while putting two tea bags in the compost heap (any excuse to get out there) we noticed it was quite mild weatherwise and also spotted what we think are some giant garlic bulbs (volunteers we reckon) resprouting. That’s a good sign but we won’t speak too soon as you never know it may snow next week (we hope not though!)
Weeds up to me knees 
The garlic that sprouts in the morning will be eaten by the rabbit in the evening.
Brilliant, that made me laugh! You could also substitute Slugs for Rabbit too as they are right rotters in the garden over here. Pete
