Not everything in the garden is rosy
Just found the first tick on one of our dogs this morning, fortunately I had a tick fork and removed it before it got too large
So watch your pets for ticks
Also be careful with snakes, last spring our cat Max ended up on a drip for 3 days after being bitten by a a snake. We think it was a grass snake which Max had taken on, we found it dead and mauled later. The vet explained when any snake wakes up it is full of toxins and even a normally harmless snake can be worth avoiding in the spring.
Processionary caterpillars can also be about in the spring, many friends and pets have been affected by the barbs they throw out if you get close, so just be aware of them.
