WHY did I buy so many bulbs?

How will I EVER get these planted before SPRING? Posted by Picasa

Ugh! I thought about planting some this fall.... then laid down until the impulse passed.

Sherry, you may have to refrigerate your bulbs for awhile to "simulate winter" before they'll grow in your climate. Or else look for some that are specially bred for Southern climates. It would be a hassle - if I weren't in the right climate for bulbs, I wouldn't go to extreme measures for them, I'd choose something else to plant - but I would miss them. Spring flowers are my favorites. Daffodils do better here than tulips, though - TOO MANY CREATURES eating my tulip bulbs!
HEY! You can also buy the "forced" bulb sets at garden websites, or K-Mart and Wal-Mart should have some - Why don't you ask for some for Christmas? :-)

Hah! Nancy gardens like I do. But since I have a new house this year I did buy a few bags and dug 3 holes as an experiment. If they don't bloom we'll move right along to whatever perennials I can beg from my relatives.
