Seeds that are eager to sprout are such a boost to the spirit in
midwinter.
Today these seeds, from the Alpine Garden Society, sown in mid-
December, germinated: Agapanthus, Dierama, Gladiolus and three
species of Arisaema.
Last year some Colchicum seeds germinated that I had sown 8 years
previously. That event did not engender as much joy as the fast ones
today have. Actually, no joy. Just a feeling of: Well! It's about
time!! An enthusiasm for life is contagious.
