The pond is waking up, but the water is still too cold to try and mend the front. I saw water louse and a snail. A paddlestone has dropped in and needs to be found, but meanwhile I’ve sprinkled more million bells seed on the ledges.

The first crocuses have opened in Bed 3, with lots more to come.

The garlic was all up, so I worked out where the evicted 4 could go back in. The lines aren’t as uniform as they should be, but with any luck everything will stay put now.

The ferns have been bought now and are sitting at home. I need to get some heucherellas, but the Alabama Sunrise weren’t at Wyevale any more, so I’m going to hold on a moment to see if I can find them. I’ve marked roughly where the ferns will go and put another log, and some pieces of bark into the bed. Two foxgloves have been added and I’ll get more out of Bed 3 next weekend.

I saw the robin standing on the tripod log twice, exactly as intended. Hopefully it’ll find all the grubs I was turning up in the weeding.
