Looking forward

This past Sunday (i think) i neatened up in the garden. I’d bought pansies and sweet peas and a daisy-like plant and chamomile just before N & M’s visit. They seemed to have stalled through December and January, but the pansies are blooming again and the sweet peas are stretching out. The lemon is almost yellow! And the hydrangea — who knew it would be so sensitive to the cold?

Last night i bought two new window boxes, a bunch of peat starters, and feet for the window boxes. I also bought a number of seeds i trust to be easy:

Basil, Osimum basilicum, Italian Pesto, $2.49, www.reneesgarden.com, 2005-02-02
Celosia, [unknown], pampas plume, $1.89, Miracle-Gro, 2005-02-02
