But first, coffee. It will make the walk better, I promise.
A chilly day in the 30’s with things set to warm up later in the week. I will put the pansies and violas out to get some sun before potting them up towards the weekend. Lots of blues for the spring pots and my favorite black violas for a larger, shallow pot by the window.
Time to walk, coffee in hand. Clusters of crocus await me; the oldest clumps now in their 7 th year.
This leads to the hellebores. My favorites. The newest ones have grown and are starting to open their wine, pink, and black eyes to the world.
Back inside to warm the hands. More trimming of dormant perennials later, if the rain holds off. I would welcome the precipitation to help the cover crop, though. Garden plans are in the works!
