Coffee sack muscari leaves

When a lot of things have stopped growing, it's always nice to see shoots of spring bulbs defying the grey weather. 

I filled a glass vase with indoor daffodils at home and I spotted roots pushing down the potting mix yesterday. And some of my tulips have a noticeable, if tiny, green tip pushing through the soil.

At this time of year, signs of plant life are very important for us gardeners, they help see us through the dark days of late autumn and winter.
