We have had a beautiful Easter up here in the north. It is not too warm yet but the sun has shone the whole long weekend.
The good weather got me to go to a store and do some shopping.
The first Pansy (Viola) found its way to my balcony. Chose a bright orange one with wrinkled petals this year.
The first pansy (viola) found its way to my balcony during the weekend.
I know it is a bit early for them because the nights might get too cold still but could not resist the temptation to have something blooming outside.
It will be interesting to see what kind of colors there will be available this year. I usually go for the light colors since they stand out better in the shade.
They have promised few days of warm weather just before the Eastern. We should go above 10 degrees Celsius which is warm up here in the north for this time of the year.
Pansies (viola) arrived and bought one for my balcony. I would love to have more but during the summer it simply gets to hot to grow them.
Now waiting for the other flower varieties to arrive hoping for new colors and shapes.
Pansies are doing well in the balcony. Bought them already few weeks ago.
During some of the nights the temperature still goes below the freezing point but the pansies are used to the cold by now and do not mind. Sometimes they even survive the harsh winters up here.
Need to buy some more to the summer cottage. Just to have blooming flowers to brighten the early summer.
The first pansies found their way to my balcony. Once I saw them could not wait any longer.
It is still too cold for them during the nights. I guess that I will be taking them inside each evening.
The challenge is starting to be that I already have too many pots inside waiting for the days to get warmer.
