Woohoo! My ostrich fern has made it through the winter. A tiny fiddlehead, about a centimetre high is poking up from the soil today. The fiddleheads of ostrich fern are edible, but this is currently tiny and also the only one, so I'm not touching it.
Also my rhubarb is back :)
Both of them were only planted for the first time last year, and I had no idea whether they would survive or not, so that's definite cause for celebration.
More comfrey has come back than I actually planted - it's spreading :)
The Sweet Cicely that I thought was dead has come back lovely, bright lime green and new.
All the wild garlic is back, but hasn't spread as much as I would like.
One strawberry plant has turned into six.
It's a bit anxious coming through the winter in a garden where half of the plants die back to below ground level over the winter, given that all these plants were new last year, so they didn't have a track record that I could rely on. It just looked like everything was dead. But it's wonderful to go out there now and find a new thing that's come back to life every day. A lot more has made it than I feared.
