Spring Hopes! 1-20-25
It's been so cold and icy. The forecast sunny days last week never happened. The plants give hope that warmer days will come!
Lots of flower bulbs.
Ixia. Freesia. Squill. Grape Hyacinth.
Tete-a-Tete Daffodils
Drumstick Allium
Welsh Onions, a perennial bunching onion, in the middle rear. Which are not Welsh at all. The flatter bulbs are garlic, multiplied from the one single bulb from the grocery store. It's sprouted so I stuck it in the ground. I don't need to buy garlic anymore! This is hardneck garlic. Rather than seeds, it forms tiny little garlics that drop off and sprout! https://lisasgardenadventureinoregon.blogspot.com/2024/08/hardneck-garlic.html
Self-seeded Italian Flatleaf Parsley. Parsley is a biennial, meaning it lives two years. The second year it bolts and goes to seed.
Here is some forming the umbrella shaped seed heads.
So long as the plants know spring is coming, I can have hope!
...thanks for the green on our White Christmas morning.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the bulbs push growth out this time of year, it is hopeful!
ReplyDeleteyour garden is waking up. nice.
ReplyDeleteThe warmer days will come. When it's really cold, I remember when it was so, so hot and how miserable it was. And then I try to enjoy the cold while we have it.
ReplyDeleteYay! Thank you for the hope, as my location currently has subzero temps. I'm so ready for spring this year. :)
ReplyDeleteIt’s nice to see your signs of spring. It’s absolutely frigid here in Virginia.
