Ooh we're having a bit of a warm spell this week...I've been faffing in the garden clearing and tidying, pruning the little Morello Cherry tree which was getting too big for its pot...and pulling out hardy Geraniums that had got out of control...well and become a hotel for snails and slugs...bleugh....I've planted some miniature daffodils and some mixed Crocus and some wonderful looking (on the label) Cream Beauty Crocus...every Spring I always get cross with myself that I didn't get a grip at the end of Summer and plant more bulbs, because I do absolutely adore the Spring and take such great delight in seeing all the new, fresh green shoots coming up after the long, cold winter. Anyway this warm spell has encouraged me to be out in the garden after tea just pottering about...I planted some more Snowdrops too..Fair Maids of February..I love their grey blue-green foliage. I always think planting bulbs is such a wonderfully positive thing to do...looking hopefully to the future and the expectation of being there for the reward of seeing them bloom...a bit like a promise...see you on the other side of Winter. Hope made reality.....magic.
Cream Beauty Crocus...12 for £1...I always think there's something very nice about picking your bulbs into a paper bag..counting them carefully and writing on the bag what they are! Much more exciting than just buying a ready packed bag!
Nestled in the soil...ready..steady..grow!
