    Is it worth or even beneficial to tidy up the garden?

    I have a smallish town garden, it wouldn't take much to get it looking tidy. But I'm trying to teach myself not to faff so much and leave things alone.

    Spring Bulbs coming up early

    Don't believe it about the mice. We used to find just bundles of leaves where the mice had eaten the crocus corm underneath.
