The first signs of life in the garden are showing up! Surprise to me but the hazelnuts (filberts) have catkins on them! I'm really excited about these in particular because I started coppincing them and added lime to them. I really hope to add a small hazelnut crop in the next few years. The coppiceing has also provided wonderful cooking wood, walking sticks, and mushroom mulch.
Cant wait to see what else starts blossoming!
