THE LOVE OF FORGET ME NOTS

Forget-Ne-Nots are one of those old fashioned flowers a garden calls for! Tiny blue clusters reminiscent of days gone by with the meaning "True Love".  I have been in a "push the garden" mode:  watering earlier, raking earlier and cheering every plant out of the ground.  Our frost date isn't until later in May but "who cares".
Everything is still pretty brown.....

The sun was coming into the camera from the east this morning so these photos aren't  the greatest but you can see the daffodils I planted last fall and the Forget Me Nots and a few columbines.....

So many tea party bloggers love to garden.  Maybe it's all those floral decals on teapots and cups and saucers that point to gardening. After World War II, the United States imported many cups and saucers from Japan.  I still have some from childhood with FORGET ME NOTS on them.... 

My grandmother was the one who got me interested in gardening.
Also, the physical benefits are enormous.  I tried remembering that this week as I struggled to lift a 50 lb bag of garden soil into the back of my Honda.....oh boy....I am so out of shape....too many scones and clotted cream! 

Mr. Peter Rabbit and Jemima Puddleduck are so ready for spring! As is Miss Tabitha.....

We have a long way to go to get into the gardening.....

Are you ready?
