First Flowers of 2023

Despite the icy weather we had weeks ago, the snowdrops are already blooming in the memory garden.

Meanwhile, the early signs of spring in the house took the form of some fun miniature narcissus, N. bulbocodium ‘White Petticoat’ in the forcing pot I brought inside. The growth is a bit awkward due to the lack of light but the flowers are charming.

Given all signs pointing to spring, I focused on organizing my seed inventory today. Leon has been helping to clean out a deceased friend’s house and he found a perfect little seed storage unit. I went through all the packets and organized them by start date. There are a LOT of seeds. I am really excited to get started, though!
