Bulb Planting Time
It's Bulb Planting Time!
I finally got out to my garden today--something I've been trying to do for weeks--to plant my daffodil and tulip bulbs. This year I decided to plant deeper and to layer some mulch over the top so that (hopefully!) the squirrels won't get to them. As I was digging, I didn't find a single bulb leftover from a previous year. I don't know how many I've planted--not too many, but at least 20-25. But none were to be found.
Here are some photos of my and Lucy's adventure:
Lucy, my faithful companion for 12 years
I think my iPhone camera is dying because all of these look blurry
Bulbs cozied together
Finished bed - it looks redder than in real life, but all they had left at the store was red mulchIn honor of bulb planting time, here are a couple of poems:
Bulb Planting Time by Edgar Guest
The Daffodils by William Wordsworth--my all-time favorite flower poem
