Thanks, roybird. I, too, planted bulbs today -- never give up is my motto -- this time I planted 10 tulipa saxatilis. I am hoping these will do better than tulips I have grown in the past, but I just remembered one mistake I made. I planted them near the sidewalk that the deer like to walk down. I have some more to plant. I will plant them farther away from the sidewalk. The deer don't go up close to the house, normally.
So much to remember!
I was just reading with longing about Harland Hand's garden which was famously artistic. My garden, at least right now, is what I can get to grow. It gets a little better each year, but the progress is pretty slow.
I always love these red mums when they bloom. They are so late that I always think they haven't survived, but then they pop our in late fall.
