The Spring Solstice…..at last

Muscari have arrived….. 19.3

The Spring Solstice is here after what has been both a strange winter and early spring.  From today the days will get longer and the nights shorter.  Our Muscari (I think they are called Grape Hyacinth in North America) have at long last put in an appearance….but this year they do look rather strained, straggly and rather pale.

Still best not to complain they still add that vital spring note to the garden.

** I stand corrected the title of todays blog should be “Spring Equinox” (see comment below)
