Bits and bobs

- Some of our wallflowers look like they're going to be out soon: you can see what colour the individual flowers will be. This when we had -5C last night and probably lower tonight. The aliums and wild garlic are also poking their noses up.

- Does anyone know how I would go about turning a coppiced dogwood into a pollarded one? (So, foreground type to background type in this picture.) Or is it not possible? They're the ones I put in this winter, so fairly young.

- (At least one of) GB's lodger(s) is no more. Having ignored the trap for months, it was finally overcome by the smell of chocolate today. Now, to wait and see if there are signs of any others. (Trap is re-set, just in case.)

- We now have two grape vines, thanks to Mike's mother.
