So here I am on February 2 and it is a Spring like day in Sarajevo. Back in December I planted some Tulip bulbs that a friend gave me into a pot and placed them in a cool room . In the middle of January I brought them into my kitchen where after a short time life popped up above the soil.
I also planted some Garlic into 2 separate containers, 1 I left outside on my balcony the other I left in the kitchen. The one in the kitchen has 2 nice little plants, the one outside as yet to show any signs of growth. It will be interesting to see if there is any difference in the final result.
My small Clivia which I got as an offshoot has been sitting un-watered since the end of October has now had it's first watering.Clivia are natives of South Africa and they usually flower after the dry summer there so by mimicking that summer in winter here hopefully they are encouraged to flower.
Finally 2 of my orange trees lost almost all of their leaves over the winter, but are now showing signs of new shoots.
Just a reminder to start thinking about what seeds you want to buy for the coming growing season. :)
