RE: April Flowers: Watching My Garden Grow (literally!)
Your flower are beautiful. I spend enormous amounts of time with my flowers too, but here in France it is too early for the cosmos, poppies, and even the lavatera. So I am growing them in my veranda and will put them out mid-may. Looking forward to a colorful summer!
Well, in Atlanta the daffodils start popping up in January! I'm always surprised, but they do. I grew up in Ohio and lived in France for several years (Le Mans, Nantes), so the early spring here still surprises me here. My mother-in-law near La Ferté Bernard has a huge garden and about 50 potted plants too - Whenever we visit I spend a lot of time observing her flowers too. And of course the jardins des plantes in France are to die for. Enjoy when yours start to pop out!
Yes @orangina, this is an exciting time of the year for gardeners. I am heading down to the South of France to see my granddaughter, and when I come back will plant everything. Hoping to make it to Giverny in May.
