Gardening update

[tagryn]

As a remedy to the piles of snow which are dominating our yard, I bought some cut flowers a few days ago, then at Lowes yesterday while picking up some snow melt I also bought mini-roses and a blooming hyacinth for Donna for Valentine's Day. The paperwhites we planted a few weeks ago are also blooming now, so the family room is smelling quite fragrant right now between everything. We also received a herb pot on Christmas, and all the seedlings in it are now fighting it out for dominance. We'll see which ones win out. Also, we have a geranium (?) that my Mom bought back from one of her cruises to Puerto Rico which is also blooming, it seems almost impossible to kill the thing: it keeps coming back even from no-leaves status time after time. I also planted some cat grass (oats) yesterday, which judging from past performance should be sprouting by next week and ready for the cats the week after that.
