This morning in honor of my countdown to Earth Day, I harvested a bucket of gorgeous black crumbled dirt from my compost, scooping it from the bottom with my hands. Totally earthy. I’ll add it to the soil when setting out the 18 vinca plants that have cheered me in the kitchen for the past week. The tray of plants, with blossoms of amazing magenta with white centers, has moved around the house. It has been a dinner table centerpiece, a coffee table decoration, a window sill box and overall my kitchen’s ode to spring.
While I love bringing home a perfect bouquet of cut flowers from the market, the budget these days won’t let me do it often. For $9.95, a tray of 18 blooming plants provided as much cheer and bang for the buck, plus they’ll keep on contributing through the season with cut flowers later. Just a thought that you might enjoy doing the same thing.
