Planting Bulbs
After a week of rain and cold weather, today turned out to be sunny and mild. I knew I should make use of this day to plant my new tulip bulbs.
I only had 30 bulbs to plant but it takes a while to decide where to put them and to tidy up the spot, taking compost material out of the way, to get ready for them. I probably only spent about an hour doing yard work, and I really feel good about getting it done.
This morning Art Drysdale , who does a radio program about gardening, told us that daffodils should be planted now because they have to develop a root system to get them through the winter, but tulip bulbs could be planted a little later. I didn't have any daffodil bulbs to plant this year, but I planted the tulips today any how because the rainy weather could set in again real soon.
I really can't make myself plant bulbs when it's cold and raining. How do they play football in weather like that? How can people sit in the stands and watch it when it's cold and raining? Give me a mild afternoon with sunshine for me to plant my bulbs.
