I was a bit unsure how successful the planting would be- the ground is still "under construction" as you can see and needs plenty of compost dug into it still. However, I was delighted this week to see some green shoots raising their heads above the earth. Certainly not two hundred of them, but a good start nonetheless!
I have a special place in my heart for spring bulbs- planting in late autumn gives hope through the long winter months, and seeing their shoots pop up strengthens your belief that Spring WILL be coming, even though the soil is frozen and the footpaths are covered in frost.
With a bit of luck, the ground will be smothered in Daffys come Spring- hope really DOES spring eternal.
