Our first shoots have appeared - a couple of the onions have sprouted. None of the other onions or shallots have joined them yet, but the temperature did get to -3° over the last couple of days so I don't blame them for staying wrapped up! So warm today that I'm sure it won't be long now...
The strawberries and raspberries have got new leaves sprouting so hopefully by the time we get back to the plot (not till beginning of April) we'll find a few more spots of green and not just weeds!!
Then we'll be ready to start planting spuds and sowing some more seeds - goodo!

I'm surprised to hear that you are still experiencing such cold weather, hope it picks up soon and you get "more greenary".
