And so it begins
genesis
triumphant bow
or nemesis
the garden that was
the one that will be
hover in mind
tantalizingly
evolving in increments
slow, heuristic
I allow a trifle
narcissistic.
And so, dear reader, with this first purchase,
begins the adventure of turning someone else’s garden into mine.

I know you’ll enjoy the adventure. Gardening is like horse riding in that leaving a loved garden is like falling off the horse. Experienced riders get back on the horse as soon as they can!

Much truth in that. Leaving one’s own garden is very much like hitting the ground hard, and I totally agree that the thing to do is dig in again. I have ordered extra patience from the catalogs so that I can proceed carefully, with a thought for the previous gardener. It won’t do to be too hasty. I trust you recognized my first purchase as a direct result of your narcissus post! Thanks!

I didn’t miss the colour, but as I’d thought you’d bought bulbs, was not expecting to see flowers quite so quickly! Bravo!
