tomorrow i'm hoping to squeeze in an etsy update. i have little crocus and bluebell and scilla forcing kits put together for my shop. i just need to photograph them and create the listings. i'm kind of sad that i didn't think of the idea earlier in the fall so i could have ordered some of these little beauties. oh well. i'll know better next autumn. my kits include three wee little forcing glasses of varying shapes. they're adorable. i'm pretty excited. i'm going to force some crocuses myself. i've never forced them before (though i have grown them a number of times outdoors). it looks like i'm not the only one feeling the winter blah. maybe this bodes well for my little shop. i don't feel bad about what i just said because growing things is cheer-making. and i if i can help support myself by making others cheerful i think it's a good.

good luck with all the boxes and whatnot...
yay! i will try and get some photos taken asap. and i have a gift for you that i was just going to make d---- haul back to you next time he came to california. but i think receiving mail is pretty fun so i'll just ship it to you instead. i made you a softie some time ago and some other wee little things. hooray for parcels!
as far as making plants bloom, don't be too sad if you don't have luck the first time. or even the first couple (read:20 times) because sometimes they're tricky. ;)
hopefully my bulb kits will not be so tricky. i'm going to package up a little instruction sheet with each order. forcing bulbs doesn't produce instant bloom. that's part of the appeal. you get the entertainment of watching the roots form in the wee glasses etc. just ask these oldy timey folks. ;)
