A piece of advice!
Don’t run out and buy summer flowers and start planting in your pots…just because there’s been a few days with spring in the air during the month of March. I fall for it every year – can’t resist the pretty geraniums and other goodies – and suddenly it’s back to night frost again! It’s just so disappointing. I’ve decide to restrain myself this year. Instead, I’ll be spending some of my upcoming days off pre-germinating seeds from our own organic seed collection. Together with Lonnie, our Danish supplier has put together “flower beds” in coordinating colors -just the thing for someone like me who doesn’t have quite as green of a thumb as I might have liked. It doesn’t get much easier than that. I’ve chosen this package with white poppies, cosmos, cornflowers and great mullein – everything in shades of white. It’s gonna be so pretty this summer. I’m already looking forward to being able to bring the bouquet into my living room…if I have the heart.
Happy Easter, everyone! /Vivian

Yes! And if you're too early you just have to plant again! Nothing prettier than drifts of flowers from seed!
ReplyDeleteHappy planting!

In the Netherlands we have the habit to wait until after 'IJsheiligen' (the days of the Ice Saints) to put our plants outside. The days of 'IJsheiligen' are from 11 - 14 may. The Saints are: Marmertus, Pancratius, Servatius and Bonifatius.

Hello!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite magazine is Jeanne d´Are Living. The last number of Easter was very nice spring inspiration. The French countryside decor is big here in Sweden too, and a plus that it is translated into Swedish.
Happy Easter!
