The mulberry trees are starting to show leaf buds. The non-brumating tortoises will be glad for that. There's not much natural food for them this time of year.

I have a couple flowering pear trees and they're blooming like crazy. The almond orchard across the street from me is in bloom. The bee keeper placed his hives all around the orchard a couple weeks ago.

So, with all this spring time activity going on why are all you Shelled Warriors still brumating? Come on, guys. What's going on in your neck of the woods?

Lol well its darn cold here in Kent, the sun is shining and I have two tortoises up, and the others breaking ground. A few daffs out and a few primroses. Still in lockdown so rather depressing at times. Fine when you can get out in the garden:0)
