Thursday 24th February
Day 309
The unexpected gift of the sun, warm on my neck, pulled me into the garden this afternoon. I planted tulips in terracotta pots seared by the frost. Two varieties - one called "Little Red Riding Hood"and the other "Elite" - yellow and orange striped. They were the last two bags at the garden centre. It’s not the bulb planting season now so I’m out of step - should have done it last November.
Maybe they’ll come up anyway, and blaze away on their tall stems - grow against the odds - late bloomers, defiant fire brands.
