Garden Bloggers' Muse Day is hosted by Carolyn Choi at Sweet Home and Garden Chicago.
Musing on gardening and life in the heart of rural Wiltshire. Well, erm Chippenham actually...
Hi, let's start a conversation - right here, right now! If you have a question, I'll also endeavour to get back to you over at your place.
If anyone is having problems leaving comments, do contact me on vegplotting at gmail dot com or @malvernmeet if a quick tweet is more convenient for you.
Thanks xxx
My general policy re comments
I value genuine commenters for the conversation they bring. Those aiming to link back and give credence to commercial websites (thankfully rare) will be removed.
Blog posts are kept open for your Comments for as long as possible - for at least 3 months. I've reluctantly taken the decision if a post comes in for a sp@m attack after that time, I'll remove its Comments facility. I've found genuine comments are rarely left after 3 months, but dozens of sp@m comments are :( Removing these takes away the joy that a genuine comment might be left one day.
What a lovely quote, and so apt.
ReplyDeleteI agree: apt quote!
ReplyDeleteIs that winter aconite?
Plantaliscious - thanks. As soon as I saw it I knew it had to be Frebruary's muse as I've been spending so much time looking out for tiny flowers ;)
ReplyDeleteDirt Gently - welcome! Well spotted, it is indeed a winter aconite. I was going to say so on the post itself, but it seemd to destroy the power of the quotation when I do so. I was going to show you my first crocus (which came out last Sunday), but I'd been so worried that my Eranthis didn't seem to be peeping out yet, when I found they were just beginning to wake up under their winter coverlet of leaves, I knew I just had to show it instead :)
That quote hits the nail on the head VP and perfectly illustrated too :)
ReplyDeleteSo you have actually seen this lovely bloom in your garden? Lucky you! Is it already 'late' winter? I like that thought, although many say it's still deep in the middle of winter. I'm going to look at it as late winter. Hopefully that way, spring can only be just around the corner!
ReplyDeleteAnna - thanks :)
ReplyDeleteJan - February is called 'Late Winter' in our gardening calendar. I've been worried they weren't going to appear this year, so was really pleased when I saw the first few peeping through for Muse Day. There's lots more now :)
