On The Table 16 Feb 08
These appeared in the lawn at the start of the week - a sure sign that the mowing season will get under way shortly. I decided to dig some out and bring them inside and they were an amusement for several days.
I don't mind them in a lawn, along with buttercups and the odd dandelion. In fact I do like them in a lawn as they add colour. - They all get knocked back anyway when you mow.
Sure, a manicured, weed free, sward can look great but I'm not putting in the work that involves. Our own lawn will gradually shrink as more of it is set to shrubs, ground cover or turned over to growing vegetables.
While not strictly 'on the table' this week I've included this shot of a magnolia about to flower, as it will probably do over the weekend while I'm away - unless the forcast frost gets it first.......
Your garden is definitely a little ahead of mine. Although our clematis armandii is nearly in full flower (the first flowers came at the end of December)

I really like your idea of a flower each day--it does force one to take the time to notice beauty.

Daisies! I love them to bits and have loads of them in my lawn just as it should be. ;-) A great little bouquet John!
