The Great Finnish Shamrock Experiment:
6 April 2010, - The Survivors!
They were badly treated in the beginning by myself not having the correct soil for them to grow in.
But they persevered through thick and thin like proper Irish soldiers. They battled through unsteady and often very cold temperatures. And then there was the presence of my menacing Finnish cat. Some of the shamrocks suffered badly at the paws of my curious feline friend. Call it growing pains, or even casualties of war.
........... They will not be forgotten!
The snow has finally started to melt here now in Finland. Spring is knocking at our door. And we are all looking forward to some warm sunshine and hopefully a great summer. These little shamrocks have brought a little bit of colour to a house surrounded by a lot of snow over the past few days. I hope they keep growing for as long as they can. Here's a few photos of those brave shamrocks who survived the experiment.
And finally a song in honour of those who didn't make it.
Here's 'Danny Boy' from The Leprechaun Brothers!
