Thursday Gardening with Simba

First I want to say farewell to Annie, one of the sweet (and crabbilated) members of the SoFG. Annie went to the Rainbow Bridge yesterday, after not having been well for quite a long time. She is joining Chumley there. Annie, run free and happy. We will meet again one day. Please purr for her Mom, Kim, who has a sad hole in her heart now.

At our place, what little gardening I can do is inside. Here are my narcissus bulbs. They are being kept mostly in the dark in the basement for now, but we brought them up for the photos. They have to grow in the dark until mid March, then they will come into the light.

Look at how many roots they are making so they can drink lots and lots of water!

  2. How cool! Most bulb plants don't do well here in southern California. It does not get cold enough for them.

  3. Simba, we are purring for Annie's Mom.

    We think your bulbs are neat, the roots are cool! And we like how you are a big loaf of gingerbread in the first picture!

  6. That's cool how you can see the roots there!!

    We are so sad about Annie going to the Bridge. At least she is not suffering anymore. But we know her mom misses her very much.
