And by up I mean literally up.. :D .. I had a long day today, but I couldn't go to sleep without sharing some exciting news with you guys..
After that bitter winter, at the first signs of spring, my husband and I spent a good couple of hours cleaning our balcony and the flower pots.
So.. now you get the hint right - seedlings!! and they look so wonderful and tiny and uiiii I am so excited.. Maybe a little over excited - but you can't blame me after the amount of snow/ice/sleet/slush I have seen. I want to be able to sit in my balcony and have a quiet time with my plants. And by the looks of everything, there are good times ahead my friends.
Last season it was time for Eggplants and Jalapenos (too many of the latter actually.. I left the last harvest on the trees for I didn't know what to do with them!!). This season we bought seeds for Cucumber and Zinnia.And they have come to life well within their stipulated one week's time (I counted! and of course urged them to grow every morning and evening). There aren't any pics yet as they are still too tiny and I doubt if my lens would capture them.
My poor Gerber daisy - the bright orange flower in my header did not survive the winter :( .It was a wonderful cut flower and brightened my day many times. Orange love.. I mourn your loss..
My day lillies are slowly coming out of their hibernation.. The two roses have survived and there is a new one giving them company - that too red!
Mint was the first to welcome spring and a tulip leaf took me by surprise! I was sure it had left us for good.. although I am still not sure when it will bloom.
My two chrysanthemums are going strong after their second winter.. and I am actually proud of them :D
Wow.. I just wanted to write a couple of lines.. looks like information overload!! All said and done, I am looking forward to peaceful, quiet and colourful evenings and exciting mornings.. and of course lots of pics!
Will keep you posted :) Good night and sweet dreams!
signing off.. midnight 1 o'clock.. my time.. in case you were wondering ;)
