I figured that was sufficient for this year when an email offer arrived of one hundred free snow crocus and other spring bulb mix for the expenditure of another fifty dollars, which I spent on allium and giant bearded iris, also on sale, and then threw in two unexpired coupons for ten dollars each. So I have planted more than two hundred spring bulbs, plus the iris, for eighty dollars. I am that cheap.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834682329952369721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-70475501184018221542014-10-04T13:18:42.536-04:002014-10-04T13:18:42.536-04:00Just letting you know that I'm trying to get b...Just letting you know that I'm trying to get back to you but for some reason my email keeps sliding the first letter off of your name (even when I type the thing in manually!) and it keeps coming back to me as undeliverable.

It just gets too hot or it doesn't get cold enough. although one year we did buy a set of bulbs for throughout the year in four shipments. we rarely get fall color in abundance unless we have an early cold snap. but the tallows will turn red and yellow and orange spotty if only a few leaves at a time.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-14720960731996218992014-10-04T09:07:48.193-04:002014-10-04T09:07:48.193-04:00Your photos are lovely, Joanne, and the towels are...Your photos are lovely, Joanne, and the towels are so nice.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12692170857496442623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-62330123622473724242014-10-04T04:13:26.371-04:002014-10-04T04:13:26.371-04:00I love that golden carpet of leaves!

I have no idea if they're still in business... but they'd always send a lot of "freebies" with my order. Unusual things I'd never heard of... and they usually didn't grow in SE Ohio anyway. Nevertheless, getting those bulbs in the ground so they'd have plenty of time to rest dormant during the winter months was so important... because I so looked forward to flowers come spring.The Odd Essayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17168404014947652773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-33446317008362919532014-10-03T16:24:07.536-04:002014-10-03T16:24:07.536-04:00I've planted ten or fifteen varieties of groun...I've planted ten or fifteen varieties of ground cover, a couple of flats of each. The only names I recall are Irish moss and woolly thyme. Everything should have such neat names. The woolly thyme owns the lower end of the garden now.
