Spring???

Despite the spring equinox having passed now, there are very few signs of spring in Oxfordshire. I visited my allotment yesterday to find a very chilly scene, tiny leeks and very few garlic bulbs picking their heads out of the soil. However in the protection of my polytunnel my narcissi have come up and are flowering. I was able to pick a lovely bunch of "spring"!! I also have some growing outside, and although they are up, no buds in evidence yet.
This morning we have woken to more snow, no one is impressed any more, especially the chickens!!
