Yeah! Sure sign of spring, now that the nursery is open. I stopped in to see if I needed anything. Bought some cute yellow pansies and a fancy primrose. Next week we are to have sun so I now have something to plant. See I did need to buy them!
Also got my Sweet Pea seeds started today. I love SWeet Peas. Planted 4 different variaties. Can't wait till I have fragrant bouquets by my bedside.

Oh, wow. I envy you! Winter just returned today -- a little snow. But I did spot some snowdrops in bloom on Jan 30 -- the earliest ever for our cold upper Midwest garden. Love those sweetpeas, too. Happy you! happy spring!

The primroses are all outside the stores here now too and I bought four and put them on the kitchen window sill. Lord knows we need something bright and springy with all this rain we've had here. By the look of my garden right now, the only thing I'll be planting anytime soon is rice!

Oh man! You gals are so lucky. We won't see nurseries open until at least the 1st of May. Such is life in the north woods! I'd give anything to be able to see something growing other than houseplants!

The one here dosn't open until at least mid April..and then you can't put out anything you plant until May anyhow..it is just a race to get the first stuff..which is silly, but I participate every single year and have a big old window full of stuff to early to put out. Someday I want to have my own small greenhouse..I would dearly love that!!
