After a mixed bag of a winter, (see our last poll results), we’re all looking forward to a hopefully more settled and productive spring around the country.

Many of our readers send us in pictures of their gardens around this time of year, either looking good or in need of some decent sunshine and rain to pick things up.

So let us know what state your backyard, garden, or property is in heading into “the growing season”, and if possible, send us a picture too – and we’ll put a story up next week collaborating some of the photos.
