Garden dreams

Spring is coming soon. More precisely, this Sunday. I feel it, even if it's still gray and cold outside. But it's still getting warmer. And every year I make myself the same promise: that's it, enough, no new plants. First, deal with what you already have. Sit down, tidy up, don't scatter.

And every year I break this promise.

That's it now. I went "just to look" at my favorite online plant store - Agromarket. Just to see, honestly. Well, that's it. Half an hour later, the basket was not empty. I persuaded myself: "This is the last one. Definitely the last one." Funny.

The parcel arrived quickly. In the car, the box took a place of honor in the front seat, and a black face looked at me suspiciously from behind.

I unpacked everything at home. To be honest, it's packed perfectly. Despite the frost, everything arrived alive. Each plant has its own bag, the roots are protected, nothing is broken. It was even a pity to unfold - so much care in these layers of paper.

There was a real miniature garden on the table. Small pots, rolled roots, dry twigs, which at first glance look completely unpresentable. But I know it's temporary. In a couple of months it will be leaves, buds, smell. And many different colours.

I'm already mentally placing them on the site. There will be a rose here. There's something bright by the path. But I'll plant this closer to the fence. And everything is beautiful, neat, harmonious in my head. But this, unfortunately, is only a theory 😂

There is one nuance. My dogs. They sincerely believe that I dig holes exclusively for them. To make it more convenient for them to dig it all back later. Sometimes I think they have their own garden philosophy. I plant - they check for strength. How many times have they happily brought me dug up bulbs! And it's impossible to even be angry with them - they sincerely tried to help 😁

But I'm still planting. Because dreams of a garden are stronger. Because spring will come anyway. And because even if half is dug up, the other half will bloom. And for this you should press the "place an order" button again and again.

How well I know how to persuade myself when I spent a significant part of the family budget on plants 😂
