Hello Spring!
I just had to share these little pansy violas!
After the past few weeks of winter snow, ice, freezing rain and all around bad weather here in Kentucky, I have gone out very little. Dave insisted I go with him to McCabe's Nursery across the river in Indiana.
He bought fertilizer for our lawn. We used to have a lawn service, but inevitably, they would spray the yard while we were on vacation, leave a little note saying be sure to water your yard today.
We would come home to a yard full of crunchy, fried grass.
We heard about Denny McKewon's Bloomin' Garden Center 3 step Ferti-lome lawn program, started using it a couple of years ago, and our lawn does look better. We have fewer weeds and the cost is cheaper than the 5 application lawn service!
Anyway, these little pansy violas were so cheery I couldn't resist! I plan to candy some of them for desserts. They are edible. Wouldn't they look pretty on a salad? I have seen them used in ice cubes, too. In the mean time the cheery little blossoms brightened my day and hopefully yours, too!
P.S. I tucked one of the little plants in a bunny pot to enjoy in the house until Easter. Click here â–ºfor the picture on my Easter page!
