Because Spring is an Optimist...

... I planted Shasta Daisies on Sunday. The growing season here in Colorado is insanely short and temperamental, but the garden must go on. The mandrake didn't get started in time this year, but it's just as well. It's a high maintenance plant, that I don't have the time for at the moment. So the seeds wait, and sleep for another year.

I love daisies. Our daffodils are well up in NC, a good month early and the tulips are showing their green. I love this time of year. Here's to a fresh start! I bet Colorado is lovely. :)

ooo, lucky! I love daffodils! There's a green mist forming over the tree tops, but it really is a bit early for them. Poor babies won't go back to sleep, and we are about due for another cold snap.

I hope your little ones survive! The mist sounds just beautiful. As Robert Frost said "Nature's first green is gold." Only quote I can remember from him.

We have the mini-daffodils. I swear they are just adorable. :) Before long, it'll be time to get out the lawnmower again.
