“Every gardener knows that under the cloak of winter lies a miracle … a seed waiting to sprout, a bulb opening to the light, a bud straining to unfurl. And the anticipation nurtures our dream.” — Barbara Winkler
It’s been bright and cold but that’s much better than dull and damp. I scour the garden for signs of life and I am reminded what bloomed in the garden last year.
No exciting offerings here, but they gladden
my heart.

Perhaps you feel you could add your own six too.
Thanks also to the contributors who have
cheered up the bleak winter for me.

What a lovely quote, I keep peeking under leaves and garden debris for new signs of life. I am itching to sow seeds.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how much colour Mr Propagator's followers are finding in their gardens already. The sunshine is helping too.
ReplyDeleteWinter jasmine is providing a splash of colour in gardens around here, too. As yellow is my favourite colour, I am always happy to spot it.
