I love this time when the forget.me.nots start to grow and flower! They occupy a large area if they are allowed to stay. Behind this small clump, are daffodils at odd stages of nodding. An odd nod if you will!
Thankful for:
Early frost leads to sun all day!
Definitely signs of Spring then Maggie....such an old fashioned flower that is still popular...it has a great name too....we none of us want to be forgotten!
@happypat This is what I read: "Forget-me-nots represent true love and giving someone this flower means you truly love and respect this person. It is a testament to your relationships and promises the other person that you will never forget them in your thoughts. Fidelity. Forget me nots are a symbol of fidelity and being truthful to someone you love ..." Rather nice, I thought, Pat!
@maggiemae Thank goodness for that MM. I'm enjoying growing vegies and hanging out for the warmer weather so I can get really stuck in. I've just ordered a proper greenhouse which should be installed in October so watch this space.
@maggiemae Oh yes, and pak choi, lettuce, spinach, strawberries etc, etc. I've been experimenting with growing from seeds inside our north-facing windows/sliding glass doors. Lettuce was a flop, but the beetroot's doing well. Have also got a couple of chilli plants well on the way, about 15 cm high now. I cut the bottom off a 4 litre plastic bottle and used it to hothouse the chillis everyone said I couldn't grow. I have some plants that have managed outside but will thrive in a greenhouse - curry leaf plant, galangal, finger lime, lemon grass etc.
