I've been delighting in discoveries of new clumps of early spring flowers in bloom. Unfortunately, I'm experiencing a mild case of the jealous-neighbour-next-door when I see how others have proud displays of bright yellow and brilliant purple crocus' or colourful tulips. All I seem to have in my own yard is headless tulips and early spring onions...At least I can eat those.
But today, I finally noticed a tiny little clump of small purple flowers in my own backyard...Hardly anything to gloat and show-off. This however has spurred some gardening fun.
Picked up a cheap strawberry and poppy flower gardening kit; $1.00 each; the type for kids to play and mostly likely not going to work. But, just for the fun of it, I decided to give it a try...And who knows? Maybe something can be coaxed to grow from that small little peat pellet enclosed in the package. Maybe that's the fun part; not knowing if it'll really work. And if does; I'll be boasting my strawberries in a later blog entry ;p
