Primrose Path

This is one of my favorite place in the garden in the spring. The path used to go over to the neighbors about half a mile away, when their daughter and our youngest daughter were school kids. Now it basically peters out at the well just beyond this photo. Once, long ago, I raised and showed primroses and I still love them.

  1. Greetings from Sweden! I just started following your blog, very inspirational! :) What a lovely, beautiful space you live in! I read somewhere that rattlesnakes abound on Waldron, is that true? Spring is coming here as well after an unusually long winter. Finally some light and color!

  2. I LOVE primroses. We had some in the last house we lived in. I tried planting more, but my new ones never survived. I've always wondered why? Once I figure out what they want I will try again here at our new place.

  3. Anna, the primroses you buy from nursery centers often don't persist. Grow good garden varieties from seed. Thompson and Morgan has a good selection.

    Emilie, no rattlesnakes in Western Washington.
