Each time I look out at the front garden, my heart has a little
jump of joy.
Why you might ask.
The answer is simple. Right now the herb garden is burgeoning
with crocuses – simple white, magisterial purple and golden yellow. In other parts
there are snowdrops, so delicate-looking.
I know neither really have a part in a herb garden, but I put in
the former as a nod to saffron, even though I couldn’t find saffron crocuses,
& the latter I know is a medicinal plant, not that I have any intention of
using it as such.
Above all they are there as a splash of colour to celebrate the
coming of the new season, of hopefully better weather (& we certainly need
that this year).
