    Northern Ireland Gardens thro the Four Seasons by Trevor Edwards © Trevor Edwards NI Gardens through the Four Seasons - There is always a garden close by! Spring Early spring starts in February/March for the snowdrop enthusiasts or galanthophiles as they have become known, with the annual homage to the displays at many of the Parks & Gardens such as the Argory in County Armagh, Rowallane or Mount Stewart in County Down. Closely followed in March April by the Crocus displays in many of the Council & Forest Parks. Daffodils are also abundant in many public and private parks and gardens over the six counties. However the National Collection is held at the Guy L Wilson daffodil garden in Coleraine, Co. Londonderry. Take a stroll through the rare collection of 400 Irish-bred daffodils and narcissus. The show starts in March with full bloom in mid-April. The garden is a memorial to the local daffodil breeder Guy L Wilson. Driving through the interesting and varied countryside the hedgerows and trees will be awaking from their winter sleep. Watch out for the abundance of the fragrant & scented yellow flowers of the Gorse (also known as Furze, Fuzz or Whin Bush) in the hedge rows of the small fields. It is said that Kissing is in Season when the Gorse is in flower! Also observe the floriferous masses of 5-petalled white flowers of the Hawthorne Crategus monogyna which ripen to form bright red clusters of berries, watch out for the “Fairy Trees”. White 5-petalled flowers of Blackthorn Prunus spinosa will appear in April-March, before the leaves (followed by purplish fruits (sloes) with a powdery bloom.

  • Heriot's Angling Club Outing Reports 2001-2008
    Heriot’s Angling Club Outing Reports 2001-2008 2001 Lindores, day session, 25th March A bit of a nip in the air! It was snowing for a while! And your secretary had a fish first cast of 2001! An odd assortment of flies and methods worked, including my boat partner and I getting 2 each on buzzers on the slime line. Most of the top bags came from the bottom end, where we fished, but we never really got a handle on it. Meanwhile, fishing the top end, one of our rods had 8 for the day, but others struggled up there, and the fishery management seemed sure the bottom end was best. The rest of our top bags went 7s, 6s, 5s, 4s, 3s, 2s, 1s and a blank. Oh, and our top rod... He had 13: 5 more than anyone else!!! -- Hi-D all day in the shallow water down the bottom end. What really threw us though, was boat 11 (not our club), who sat in the one spot all day, chucking out slime lines, slow F-of-8-ing and taking fish after fish. These guys must have had 30-odd for their boat. We saw a white lure going out (which was one of our successful flies) but heard them telling their mates they were getting them on Diawl Bachs. We weren't sure how much kidology was going on, but it's not impossible they were telling the truth. As usual, in these situations, we tried to copy them and got nowhere with it!!! Our club return was 14 rods weighing in 54 fish for 99 lb 4 oz, with 22 more returned.
