Spring is almost here

there are only a few days left of winter now and despite snow caped mountains in the distance things are starting to happen here in the garden.

The days are longer and a little bit warmer the bees are very active in response to all the blossoms that have bloomed. The golden wattle has started to brown and most unexpectedly my raspberry canes have started to shoot up. I am yet to see any buds burst on my grapevine and the hop plant is yet to show itself above grounds. Last night I finished netting the top of the chook run and put straw down in their house now I just need some chooks.
