    Apparently, grass snakes are harmless if left alone, but will strike if threatened (more of a headbutt, at they don't actually bite). From what I've read, they're not even classed as snakes, and are regarded as legless lizards.

    Back at the beginning of March, I took a chance & planted my seed potatoes, covering them as a bit of protection against the weather. After taking the covers off after 'Beast from the East 2', they were just starting to sprout, but really seem to have taken off over the last few days.

    Today I watched the 2 squirrels from next door's garden, cheekily running across the netting on my pond.ebay 12 (56).jpg

    My allotment's burst into life over the last week or so. The gooseberry and current bushes are starting to leaf, and the buds on my apple trees are starting to open up. The broad beans are even looking like they're taking nicely.
