First day of spring and I feel like I’m standing on the starting line waiting for the clappers to go off 😅
The spring goodies you see here in these bouquets will be a little later for me this season because I went on a wee midwinter adventure with a bestie, and before I left I had a choice. Pull up the dahlia field, all 3,500 of them, some had been in the ground going on 3 years 😩 or plant the hardy annuals…
The dahlias of course won. Divas that they are. Dahlias!! Aghh Love hate love relationship 😂
So the poor hardy annuals sat outside the tunnel houses for 6 weeks waiting for my return 🫠😅
They’re all in now and growing away, just a few weeks behind where I’d normally have them. But that’s one of the things I love about growing. Every season is different. You make your choices, learn a few more lessons and just start again from where you are. Really though, the only person you’re in a race with is yourself.
So here’s to spring and everything that’s coming 🌷🌸💕
Meanwhile, if you need a flower fix, the tulips are having their moment 🌷 My Spring Tulip Subscriptions are open now, see link in bio.
