Planting in My Dirt
Oct. 3rd, 2009 11:34 amA chance comment from Ninja Tech reminded me that since I love having early spring flowers, I should plant some bulbs this fall. So we bought some at Home Depot (we were there to buy a nice drop cloth). I might have gone a little crazy with crocuses.
This morning, Lawnchair broke up the dirt in the front bed (which currently has very generic bushes), and then we worked in some of the compost we got from the city last week (for $10 they dump a bulldozer scoop full in the bed of your truck or trailer), and buried tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, freesia and 120 crocus bulbs. We'll see what comes up.
Now I bathe again, and finally stain the heirloom.

Good luck with the flowers.
