Can't wait for spring to come
The rain is warm and the wind no longer chilly. I can't wait for spring to come so I can start my little garden all over again.
After over a month's freezing temperature, several plants have died: oregano, ice plant, hens & chicks, coral bells, bell flower, lamium. Lavender survived but they are not in a good shape. Ornamental oregano and Sage seem to be in dormant. I will have to wait till March to tell whether they are still alive.
The coral bell died again in the porcelain pot. I will need to sterilize the soil in the pot and plant Hosta.
I decide to give up coral bells, bell flowers and ice plant. Veronica speedwell produces long lasting flowers that attract bees but it also attracts white flies and which are very difficult to get rid of. I will not try it again this year. I will try hens and chicks again this year, in a larger pot with different varieties. I definitely need more rocks. I love dianthus. They are not disappointing at all. I find the red ones are easier to grow than the pink ones. I will get more of the reds this year.
So I am patiently waiting, for spring to come.
A quiet afternoon. I bought a bottle of Long Flat Blanc by accident because I really don't know much about wine. But what a pleasant surprise. The white wine tastes so delicious. It is gentle, fragrant, smooth and leaves a rich fruity flavor on the tip of tongue. It is like a fresh breeze from the orchards, completely embracing me, absorbing me in. I spent my afternoon with my Long Flat, along with plums and icy pear. What a treat!
