For those that are yearning for some spring here is a simple way to have it in your home.
In the super markets this time of year are pots of daffodils, crocus, hyacinths and tulips they aren't expensive and a few pots will go a long way...... Get a container large enough for your garden (you don't need to by potting soil for there is no planting) it should be able to hold four or five maybe even six or seven. (odd numbers are best) Now take the potted plants that you bought and just set them in the pot (one that doesn't have a hole in the bottom of it) in an arrangement that you like. If your pot is to tall add some empty pots turned upside down to bring them up to the hight that you want them to be. Water your plants well then put some moss around the edges to make it look nice and to hide the pots of the plants. There you go a wonderful spring garden for the house and the smells are heavenly. All you have to do is keep them watered. You can do this all year round with other blooming plants that you find in the store too. When the flowers have done blooming take your pots set them out in a unheated room or garage when spring breaks take and plant them in your yard. You will have flowers in your garden next year. Here is that list of flowers you can use.
Azalea Daffodil Crocus Hyacinths
Iris Pansies
and any other flower that takes your fancy. Have fun with it.
