Hi Tim,
"The dreaded field horsetail is back".
Here it is also back - I saw two in the garden past week.

I also see that you started with your hibernaculum,I'm curious :o)

Hug for the both of you,
Rita :o)

Cheers Jimmy, Rita

> I watch in awe...

Me too! :) Finding the rubble is going to be a challenge (I can see myself collecting the odd bagfull here and there from skips). Dry enough in winter, but damp enough in summer, the trick to the thing I'm thinking.

> It is about 3 month ahead of schedule

On about equal par with Kent strawberries then :) Ours down here (commercially speaking) are about the earliest (UK grown) around.

> I am sure you will get away with planting your onions after the leeks

Thanks. My finger's are crossed! :)

> but still no show of butterflies

I've only noticed 2 cabbage whites (both 'smalls') so far this year. Maybe the changable weather has put them back?

Off there now to catch up myself..

> I saw two in the garden past week

Bad luck there Rita :( Though looking on the bright side, at least we can empathise with each other :)

Best Regards Both,
Tim n' Hugs :o)x
