Yes, I sometimes get blogger's writing block. I think of ideas for posts and end up dismissing them all! December was hard for me this year. I felt tired out and discouraged for some reason.<br />Spring bulbs keep me going in winter. I have pots of tiny daffodils by my art table. They are so cheery! Not everyone likes the spicy fragrance of hyacinths, but I happen to love them. Your spring border looked lovely in 2012. Hopefully, spring is not far away.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116583212813729057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812046665751901579.post-80642135234067573852013-01-13T11:25:06.840+00:002013-01-13T11:25:06.840+00:00Once they have had a period in the dark in cold co...Once they have had a period in the dark in cold conditions they do just fine when you bring them indoors.elaine https://www.blogger.com/profile/17075935631756457901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812046665751901579.post-45908828532853625682013-01-13T11:22:57.807+00:002013-01-13T11:22:57.807+00:00I have crocus, snowdrops and iris waiting in the g...I have crocus, snowdrops and iris waiting in the greenhouse, but they are getting on very slowly.elaine https://www.blogger.com/profile/17075935631756457901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812046665751901579.post-85281691419432546512013-01-13T11:21:15.287+00:002013-01-13T11:21:15.287+00:00Anything to oblige Janet.Anything to oblige Janet.elaine https://www.blogger.com/profile/17075935631756457901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812046665751901579.post-1181949235572518442013-01-13T11:20:15.718+00:002013-01-13T11:20:15.718+00:00Hoping for the same this year, but at the moment, ...Hoping for the same this year, but at the moment, it doesn't look good.elaine https://www.blogger.com/profile/17075935631756457901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812046665751901579.post-47242943157082757402013-01-13T11:19:06.849+00:002013-01-13T11:19:06.849+00:00Maybe we'll get the timing right next year.Maybe we'll get the timing right next year.elaine https://www.blogger.com/profile/17075935631756457901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812046665751901579.post-11582801784973938042013-01-13T11:18:13.207+00:002013-01-13T11:18:13.207+00:00I do find subjects to write about particularly dif...I do find subjects to write about particularly difficult in winter.elaine https://www.blogger.com/profile/17075935631756457901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812046665751901579.post-14531459880108175622013-01-13T11:17:10.447+00:002013-01-13T11:17:10.447+00:00I haven't checked the outdoor ones yet - thank...I haven't checked the outdoor ones yet - thanks for reminding me.elaine https://www.blogger.com/profile/17075935631756457901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812046665751901579.post-65014054953644512742013-01-13T04:36:24.598+00:002013-01-13T04:36:24.598+00:00Once these are out blooming here, I should buy a f...Once these are out blooming here, I should buy a few to cheer up the kitchen.

I have to admit that I can only have them in the hall, in a smaller, enclosed space I find the scent too much. I wasn't going to bother again, since I didn't think they would grow well outdoors afterwards, but you have convinced me otherwise, so thank you.Janet/Plantaliscioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605580157193047780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812046665751901579.post-25820321468650854212013-01-12T16:11:33.857+00:002013-01-12T16:11:33.857+00:00Lovely photos, your spring border looks great!Lovely photos, your spring border looks great!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15586716199618338886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812046665751901579.post-52820415634164809712013-01-12T08:39:38.759+00:002013-01-12T08:39:38.759+00:00Yes I often get blogger's block!
