I Wouldn´t Do That (Yet)
It´s been warm lately, so yesterday we grabbed our practical Aussie bags and went to our nursery to get some flowers for the balcony.
And were told.... naaah, I wouldn´t do that yet - the Ice Saints might still come and destroy all plants!
Yah- Ex-teamleader will say today, I could´ve told you so!
How could I/we forget???
We didn´t go home "naked", though:
I got parsley, spearmint, lemon balm (yum!), apple mint and oregano.
Hopefully better from the nursery than from the grocery store.
And was told to bring all plants in if below 5C at night, too.
My chilli-seeds, aww, well...
The other day we went to Thomas Philipps and I got that super-mega-cool 70´s pot! As my bay tree had to move to a bigger place this was just perfect, no?
And just have a look at my one avo is thriving!!
And, mind you - I was pretty sure my wood-strawberries all had died in the frost, but, huge surprise, look whom I "broke free"!
Even the wee ones, how did they do that? Their tiny bit of earth was frozen for days and nights in a row!!!!
Another huge surprise - the grocery store cheapies do well, too!
Haha, let´s hope they´re all just strong and it has nothing to do with radioactive waste from nearby Asse II mine (ok, not funny at all!).
Can´t wait for the next walk to the nursery to get pretty flowers for our balcony!
Addendum: in case the first two pic-titles don´t mean anything to you - I refer to Dinner for One.

I love your orange pot! Very pretty and happy!
I'm like you -- dying to buy plants and get them in -- and yet we're still having ice storms and snow predictions. I don't even live THAT far north. It's very depressing -- I'm wondering if I'll get things in by May at the rate we are going! Good luck!
Nice to learn it´s not just me!
I hope for mid-May, fingers crossed for both of us :-)
I'd never heard of "Ice saints" lol. The herb stand is so pretty Iris.
Good luck with all the herbs, I also enjoy fresh herbs in my food.
Thank you, Sami, I do hope they last long and that those saints come in early :-)
I do like your orange pot.
All the best Jan
