And then I remembered that it had already snowed here once & could again, and did I really want to push aside the snow to plant bulbs?

It's good to know there really are no limits. That helps the rest of us out. If someone questions us about all the bulbs we buy, we can always say, "well Elizabeth has more"! <BR/><BR/>Carol, May Dreams GardenCarol Michelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796344366326535406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12157091.post-8522897866697476192008-11-01T03:41:00.000-07:002008-11-01T03:41:00.000-07:00I didn't know one could actually get enough bulbs....I didn't know one could actually get enough bulbs.

Too many bulbs is not enough, I'm with you. I also love the wreath on the previous post, it looks wild and wooly. And thanks for all that bulb info too. We are haunted by squirrels digging here and the chickenwire does the trick. I also have stopped adding the bonemeal in the hole, it seems to attract more critters and the bulbs do just fine. Lilies are my faves too. I have huge seed pods from the Chinese trumpets and am going to try growing them, if successful I will be able to go into the bulb business. Have you ever tried it? Golden Splendor is the variety, wonderful fragrance and quite tall.<BR/><BR/>Frances<BR/>http://fairegarden.wordpress.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12157091.post-22955593308167568342008-10-31T20:53:00.000-07:002008-10-31T20:53:00.000-07:00Woman, you have gone off the deep end.
