Spring on the Windowsill

We received this Fiskars herb growing pot as a gift last autumn, but back then there wasn't quite the same longing for greenery to plant anything in it.  Now, that moment has come. Although the included instructions encouraged planting healthy greens or herbs to add to food in this 90mm wide, two-tone layered plastic container, I chose something to delight the eyes - three sprouted daffodil bulbs that were already preparing to bloom. And right on time, because after such a sunny and warm start to spring, a proper winter day has arrived with winds, snow and cold. So this little mobile sunshine on the kitchen windowsill is perfectly timed.

Returning to the Fiskars pot itself - it is designed so that watering the plant is done by means of an absorbent material. In other words, the plant itself regulates how much moisture it needs, drawing from the water in the lower container. The packaging also included small plant scissors, which will come in handy for me not only for this plant but also for tidying houseplants and removing old, dried stems or leaves.
