It's still too cold to start playing with the annuals right now. I had hoped that over my spring break, I could at least get started. I thought we were going to have an early spring, as temperatures hit the 70s in March. I guess I was wrong. The nurseries aren't even open, yet. You can tell they will be soon, though. And then I can stock up on more of these and their relatives.
I love these cheeky little fellows, they creep audaciously through parts of my garden, heralding the start of a new growing season. In fact, I prefer them to their much more 'blousey' cousins, the pansies - there's something pixie-like with their small faces bobbing about in the breeze!

And I just noticed your surname - coincidentally, I live about 14 miles from the city of Coventry, here in the UK! ;-)

ReplyDeleteThey are such pretty little plants, but you have to plant a bunch to make them look like anything. I'm trying to visit all the A-Z Challenge Blogs this month. My alphabet is at myqualityday.blogspot.com
