Spring has sprung here in Teignmouth, I spotted my first daffodils this

year in full bloom this afternoon at the side of the road.

No sign of Spring yet on Dartmoor, just 12 miles from you. In fact the

opposite with 4C, rain and fog all day today. I have snowdrops in bud but

the grass is still stopped and yellow and nothing is growing at all, apart

from a few sheltered early primroses. Bulbs are still under ground. The

weekend sun may help a bit but it looks like turning colder again next week,

so Spring on hold up here. No problem, plenty of time yet for Spring when it

should be, in March-April.

First daffs here on 21/12/12. Quite a few daffs out around the estate and 11 out in the garden ATM in different places. Obviously milder here than Teignmouth, or someone needs to go to specsavers. *))- Hide quoted text -

Daffs have been in flower on my bank by road for about 2 weeks now.
They are not in flower in my back garden yet though.

So there is no childish reason to imply 'my daffs are out far earlier
than yours'
because it depends often as much on type as on climate.
The ones I planted on my bank are an early Cornish variety.

I was surprised to find mine were out when I got back from Tenerife on
21st December! those have now withered, but more on the way.
