Winter, a lingering season, is a time to gather golden moments,
embark upon a sentimental journey, and enjoy every idle hour.
John Boswell
January is the quietest month in my garden. I am enjoying the time away from weeding, yet I am longing to have my hands in the soil. Yes, where I reside, people can garden all year, but I don't. It is nice to have a little rest, plan little changes to the small space I have, decide on the potted flowers I will grow. This year I have decided on a 3 color theme. I will go with pinks, whites and light blue/purple. Of course if I waver from that and plant bits of yellow it could only enhance my small space, wouldn't you agree?
If you love Victorian flower themes as I do, and you love planting pots and pots of them, here is a list that takes as well to pots as the ground.
Acacia, aster, begonia, bluebell, calendula, chrysanthemum, dusty miller, fuschia, geranium, marigold, morning glory, nasturtium, petunia and zinnia. Of course there are more but these are usually my staples.
Are you dreaming of your spring garden? What are you planting? Do tell!
