Primary School Window

What sat on the window sill when you were a child in primary school?

Well when I saw these today it brought back all those memories. We always seemed to have cress sitting on blotting paper and hyacinths in water, like this. So I couldn't pass these by. Plus the price was right, reduced from $7.99 to $1.99

The hyacinths are a Pink Pearl and a Blue Delft, the smaller ones are crocuses, a Remembrance, Jeanne d'Arc and Pickwick.

The glasswear, made in the EEC; I will be able to use again next year.

Just looking at their little shoots popping up brings joy and such memories too. From the instructions, they need to be put a dark cool place until the shoots are longer and then bringing out.








The plants behind are baby lemon trees, which Rob is trying to Bonsai.
