Well, actually, I love planning and the thought of the spring display they'll give, but the actual work of planting them not so much:) You've reminded me to get busy soon, because there's no rain in the forecast here, and by the end of the week I might need dynamite, too.

I know it will so much fun for you next spring waiting to see the new blooms. I cannot even imagine gardening in such hard soil! I give you tons of credit for doing all that work to plant one bulb!<br /><br />I have not planted a single bulb this year. I am not planning to so I will just have to watch all my blog friends gardens next spring.<br /><br />The Double Scoop Rasberry Echinacea is very nice. Also loving the alliums. I planted that same combination a few years ago. For me alliums don't spread. In fact they die out after a couple of years. I really need to plant more of those.Diana LaMarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324428666401187803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702367777217796558.post-80370962357274036542011-10-01T03:04:58.081-04:002011-10-01T03:04:58.081-04:00They're going to be lovely Lona.

I'm glad you're getting over the ...Hi Lona,<br />I'm glad you're getting over the dizziness. I forgot to mention that I had what they called benign positional vertigo for I can't remember how long. Whenever I bent over, I got very dizzy. I was given exercises to do, which involved bending over, and I just couldn't do them. I didn't know it would get better on its own, but I'm thankful it did.<br /><br />What a good feeling to have those bulbs planted. I had to laugh at your drill references. I had planned to put bulbs in along the front of my new front yard bed, but found some early spring blooming natives that I decided to put in instead. I have some daffs and such in other areas that are still doing fine. I need to get my garlic in in the veggie garden.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702367777217796558.post-81190769155337949892011-09-30T19:31:13.681-04:002011-09-30T19:31:13.681-04:00Lona, I know about the auger and the eshausting wo...Lona, I know about the auger and the eshausting work to get some bulbs into the ground, only to see the squirrels following.<br /><br />I have not begun my planting yet, lots to do.<br /><br />EileenGatsbys Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228978705943696143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702367777217796558.post-86642436329180956292011-09-30T17:53:03.701-04:002011-09-30T17:53:03.701-04:00You got that right - we are a hopeful lot!
