I had a look around the garden this morning while hanging out some washing. There is nothing early. All the usual plants are beginning to come to life. The Bleeding Heart is up about six inches, the buds on the Hydrangea are beginning to open, Honeysuckle too. The one thing that seems to be late is the Forsythia as the flowers haven't appeared yet but I may have trimmed that too much in the autumn, although ours seems to be a late flowering one and they don't appear until nearer March.
Don't worry, be happy.

What you say is right Fred in Montrose in the summer it can be 3 or 4 degrees colder and in the winter Montrose is always 2 or 3 degrees warmer and as you know i only live 5 miles in land and only 60 feet above sea level

i don't like to see an early spring . in my experience it encourages fish to be active and feeding when they should still be lying comatose.the first weeks of the season are usually great  but then it can be dour for the rest of the year.rivers may be different but that is my experience on lochs.

I don't think we're having an early spring. Sun is shining with me, back of the house is around 9ºC, even warmer out of the light easterly breeze but there was a frost on the car in the shade of the front, until a couple of hours ago. Rather normal mid February conditions IMO. Get out of the sun and it's still very much winter.

Spring takes it's time to settle in, there's still plenty time for a sharp late winter shock, or three, before we'll see the last of it.
