Today I planted snowdrops in the green in my garden. The snowdrops are from my brother's garden. My brother died 5 weeks ago and this is for me a good way to remember him, because he loved gardening and he's probably one of the people who has inspired me most in my gardening.
I love to have plants in the garden which remind me of people I have known or places I have been to. As I planted the snowdrops I shed a few tears for the brother that I loved. Tears, sadness, dark days are much a part of my life at the moment. But I know I will work my way through it and next year in the dark days of winter when the snowdrops are flowering they will bring me hope and peace and help me to focus more on happy memories.
