If there is one thing that flower growing teaches you, it’s patience. Something very difficult for someone who isn’t known for having much. But wait I must to see color on the tulips. Yes, they look good, and the first crates have only been inside for two weeks now, but with last week’s totally craptastic weather, some tulip color would be a lovely balm for many souls. Patience, Kerwin, patience.
What exciting things are happening besides the slow tulips? Well almost all of the seeds that already have been sown have started to germinate, so in another week or two they can be transplanted into larger soil blocks and grown on until they can go out into the unheated greenhouse. At least that is the plan. I see a tiny little sprout of a ranunculus which is hugely exciting so things are happening. Tomorrow four more crates of tulips come in and another big seeding day is on the schedule. More perennials, now that the last of the seeds have arrived, and the first sowing of the cool flowers. Yup. Things are happening. Just not tons to show you, but soon.
Meanwhile I am enjoying the longer days, not having to do evening chores in the dark and any amount of sun makes we happy this time of year.
I will leave you in anticipation of things to come. Until next week. Your impatient flower girl, Allie
