Helleborus, Pulmonaria .. what a joy it is!
March 20th, 2011 | 
Author: Finally I had a chance to work a little outdoors and though it was still a tad cold, I loved it. Took some time to take some pictures of what is blooming at the moment. Most of all I am so happy to see a pulmonaria blooming that a dear friend gave into my care last year. I take adoption seriously, when a dear garden friend gives something into my care.
The other “flowers” blooming indoors would like to say “hi”, too.

here comes the sun …
… wishful thinking.
When it does come out, the wind is so cold that no one in his/her right state of mind will be outdoors to do much of anything in a garden. I am sooo jealous of all of you who are able to work outdoors. In my part of Germany the ground is still frozen. Tell me, I am impatient? Yesterday I stuck my finger into the ground, just to discover I couldn’t dig down into the ground very far. Does someone understand that my green thumb is REALLY itching? I am ready … enough books read, done enough sewing and what ever else.
I guess, I will keep looking at my garden books and the internet on my favorite site, make wish lists, though I am out of room to plant anything without giving up any more of the holy lawn. My new garden bench is sitting in the car port and I visualize her being placed perfectly where I may watch the rose “Veilchenblau” which will hopefully take over the arch we set up for her the other year.
For now I will dream of geranium, sempervivum and all the other early signs of the garden year, colorful photos and the sun touching my soul.
Until then I will spoil our new kittens Benny and Leoni.
Have a great week!
